Did he definitely apply?
Did he have his interview yet?
Has he checked his spam folder?

If yes and yes and yes then maybe phone admissions and ask?

Thanks . My son applied for A level (2024), looks like many of his friends received provisional acceptance email already. But he is yet to get one. Peter Symonds was his first choice..

We are closer to county border and search says

Hampshire County CouncilCounty councils are responsible for services like:

  • education
  • social care
  • transport

Not sure why still he is not getting email from the college..? Thanks

I too think the limit is how far the young person is prepared to travel.
When looking at travel times you have to consider that the buses meander and stop, plus time walking to and from the bus stops.
As an example, I can get to DD's college in 25-30 minutes. Going by bus would/will take her an hour door to door.

And I think it used to be the sixth form collage for the Falkland Islands….don’t know if it still is!

I know students from all over Hampshire that go or have gone there

If it’s Peter Symmonds college, there does not appear to be. Lots of young adults from Southsea/Portsmouth attend that college.
