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,
www.brit.croydon.sch.uk. Our preferred method
of application is via the online application form.

• by phone, written request or by visiting the School
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 specific 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
specifically 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.

(We give additional time

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.
• Application forms must be completed in
accordance with the instructions on the form and
returned to the School.
• Postal applicants must enclose a stamped
addressed envelope and this will be returned to
acknowledge receipt of the application form.
Online applications will receive an automatic email
confirmation of receipt.
• When the form is received applicants submitting
incomplete applications will be sent a letter/email
informing them their application is incomplete
and requesting the information that is still required.
The application will not be processed until this
information is supplied.
• Applicants who do not submit a complete
application in time to be processed by the relevant
deadline might find that all places in their chosen
specialism have been allocated. Experience has
shown that this will almost certainly be the case for
Dance, Music, Musical Theatre and Theatre. The
other courses may have availability after this date.
• If, on receipt of a late application, all places in
the chosen specialism have been allocated,
or it appears from the number of applications
already underway that all places are likely to have
been allocated by the time these applications
