FAQs
Can I apply for more than 1 strand?
Applicants can only apply for one strand.
Can I change strand?
The applicant must start the application process again,
sending in a letter stating the new strand choice and
enclosing a revised section 7 of the application form
(questions relating to strand).
What documents will I need when I apply
KS4 students will need to supply a copy of their Year 8
report, Post 16 students will need a copy of their Year 10
report. At some point during the application process
you will be required to supply your passport (to be
copied) and a copy of a utility bill which should show
the address you were living at the time of application.
I was unsuccessful can I apply for
another strand?
Applicants whose application is not successful cannot
apply for another strand unless they are specifically
recommended by The BRIT School in writing.
Why is there a different application
closing date for Post 16 Creative Strands?
This is to allow time for Portfolios to be developed.
When will I know if I have a place?
All decision letters are sent the first week of April. No
one will be informed by telephone, email or fax.
I have already started Year 12, can I apply?
Applicants who have already studied at Year12 can
apply to us but they will have to re-sit year 12 again.
They cannot be 18 years of age at the start of the
course. They should submit a Year11 report alongside
their application.
What if I miss the Open Day?
We only hold two Open Evenings a year. Key Stage
4 and Post16 students are welcome to attend either
evening but obviously the evening will be aimed at that
year group. Due to busy timetables and schedules we
are unable to facilitate visits at any other time.
What if I cannot make my meeting/audition?
We are only able to try and change interview/
audition dates for Public Exams (not mocks) and for
hospital appointments. Please supply any supporting
documentation of dates you may be unavailable at
the point of application.
Do I need to bring anyone to my meeting
and if so how many people can I bring?
Due to the high volume of applicants that attend these
meetings we ask that you are accompanied only by
your parent(s)/carer(s). The parent(s)/carer(s) of Post16
applicants do not have to attend the meeting if they
do not wish to. It is mandatory for KS4 applicants to be
accompanied by their parent(s)/carer(s) in order for
the interview to take place. Parents can only attend
the meeting and NOT the workshop.
