By now all Year 11 students will hopefully have attended at least one post-16 Open Event, either at a college, sixth form or apprenticeship provider to inspire and motivate them and will be clearer about their options after Honley. 

College applications - Get Into

Students complete all their applications online using the Kirklees e-prospectus website www.get-into.co.uk by Friday 19 January 2024. The exception is Greenhead College where students apply directly via their website by Friday 1 December 2023.

How to apply

Log in at www.get-into.com and enter your personal information (all Year 11 students have been issued a username and password)

We will add predicted GCSE grades and reference information for all Get Into applications and proofread the applications before submitting them to the colleges. It is essential that the deadline of Friday 19 January 2024 is adhered to.

Be aware of all the entry requirements, which include grades, attendance (generally 95%+), punctuality and attitude to learning.

Support

Mrs Hesselgrove, Careers Adviser is running two lunchtime ‘Get-Into’ sessions in B8 (IT room) on Wednesday 13 and Tuesday 19 December. 

Mrs Hesselgrove is also available on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays during break time and lunchtime in her office in the Library.

Additionally, students can complete their application on a computer after school in B8 from 3.05pm to 4.00pm on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays.

Apprenticeships

Although applications to training providers for apprenticeships can be made through Get Into, an offer of a place does not guarantee an apprenticeship. The most important part of an apprenticeship is to gain employment, and the young person is responsible for securing this. For students seeking apprenticeships, we will provide targeted support in February/March 2024.

Any questions

If you have any questions about the process, are looking to attend a college out of area, or need a hand completing the application, please don’t hesitate to contact Mrs Hesselgrove (a.hesselgrove@honley.tlt.school).
