2) Procedures
2A) What the applicant must do
i) Prospectus and Application Form
Students or parents/guardians may obtain a
prospectus and application form in any of the
following ways:
• by reading and downloading via our website,
. Our preferred method
of application is via the online application form.
Applications which are not made online must be
posted not emailed or faxed.
• by attending a BRIT School Open Evening (See
page 5)
• by phone, written request or by visiting the School
• from careers conventions in their school or
neighbouring schools
NOTE: We strongly recommend visiting the School
during an Open Evening before applying. This will
enable parents and applicants to understand the way
in which the School works.
ii) Specialism
• Applicants must apply for a speci c course. All
further arrangements in relation to an application
will then be based on this initial choice.
• Should a student wish to change her/his specialism
course, the student must start the application
procedure again, sending in a letter stating the
new specialism choice and enclosing a revised
section 7 of the application form. This application
is treated as a new application so please ensure
that this is received before the deadline date.
• Applicants whose applications are not successful
at any stage may not apply for a different course
unless speci cally recommended by the School in
writing.
iii) Returning the Form
We encourage applicants to apply online. The online
application form will be available from 1st September.
Application forms are available with the new
prospectus at the beginning of September. Applicants
are encouraged to apply well before the deadline
dates; this not only helps the administration of the
applications procedure, but reduces the possibility of
postal delays making your application late. Please
note that late applications will be dealt with after all
applications made by the published date.

Please check these deadline dates carefully; we will
not be able to make exceptions if deadlines are missed
because the table has not been read correctly.
We recommend that applicants obtain proof of
postage when sending an application as the School
cannot be held responsible for non-delivery of
applications. Date stamped envelopes will not be
considered proof of postage as they are often illegible.
Please ensure the correct postage is applied.
