Transfer Forms and Application Forms

During September to November 2011, Transfer to College Presentations will be given to Year 11 students and their parents at all partner schools (Havering 11-16 schools).

Students at these partner schools will be provided with a transfer form (application form) by their school and will be supported through the transfer process by their Head of Year or Careers teacher. Students should complete the form and hand it back to their school. The deadline for completion of transfer forms will be set by the individual schools. The forms are then forwarded to Havering Sixth Form College by the schools, along with student references

Students at non-partner schools (schools outside Havering) or at Havering 11-18 schools, or those students who live in Havering but go to school outside the borough, should apply using the application form which can be downloaded here or can be obtained by calling 01708 514400.
