FAQs
Current Year 11 WHSB pupils do not need to complete the application form (typically open from December to January). Current WHSB pupils will complete an intentions and course selection form at the start of February. This follows on from the Taster Afternoon in early January and the Transition to Sixth Form Evening in late January.
