Check the entry point and eligibility
Confirm the year group, age requirements and any conditions that apply to your child.
Put the right dates in your diary
Note any published registration, assessment, application and offer-response dates that apply to your child’s route. They may be separate steps.

Check fees and financial support
Look at fees, bursaries and scholarships, including any separate forms, evidence and deadlines.

- Who can a child turn to when they feel worried or stuck?
- How do you help pupils recover from a setback and discover their strengths?
