You’ve browsed our extensive range of courses, thought deeply about your university and career ambitions, and are ready to apply for the chance to study at Xaverian College.
We’re looking forward to finding out all about you.
But first, take a look at this checklist on how to apply and what to expect as part of your application process…
Start by downloading and printing the application form. Alternatively, ask your school for a copy.
Fill in pages 1 to 3 of the form and write a personal statement.
Both documents should be presented by you to your Head of Year.
A school representative will complete the form and send everything to Xaverian College (check with your school that you don’t need to send the application form yourself).
We cannot guarantee how long it will take for the school to send the application and personal statement, but you should, within a few weeks, receive a postcard or email advising of their receipt.
The Xaverian admissions team is happy to help with any queries. Email admissions@xaverian.ac.uk
We’ll advise on the outcome of your application by the end of March.
Successful applicants will be invited to explore the Campus and discuss career aspirations, target grades and courses. Parents or guardians are very welcome to join students at this informal, important event.
We’ll send you an enrolment appointment, which will take place after GCSE results day, and further information about starting at College.

Xaverian is an oversubscribed College. In 2019, 4500 students applied for 1350 places.
For the best chance of studying at Xaverian:
The majority of Xaverian students choose three A Levels but, based on your predicted GCSE grades, we are happy to advise on additional study options and qualifications.
You may still be able to progress. If you miss your predicted GCSE English and Maths grades, you may be able to arrange resits as a Xaverian student. We will discuss your options during the enrolment process after GCSE results have been announced.
