When Is JLC Enrolment 2026 and What Do You Need to Know Before You Go?

John Leggott College enrolment for 2026 takes place on Thursday 20th and Friday 21st August 2026, with appointments continuing into the following week. You will receive a letter to your home address with your specific appointment time. Enrolment is the final step in becoming a JLC student, the moment your place is confirmed, your programme of study is set, and you officially join the college community ready to start in September.

Due to the high volume of students attending, it is important that you come in at your designated appointment time only.

What do you need to bring to JLC enrolment in 2026?

There are four things to have ready before your appointment.

Your results are the most important. Bring your results sheet, letter, and results slip as proof of your GCSE qualifications. You cannot complete enrolment without them. If your results arrive digitally via your school, bring confirmation on your phone or a printed copy.

Photo ID is also required. JLC uses your preferred name day-to-day, but for official documents and exam entries, the college needs evidence of your legal name. A passport, birth certificate, or driving licence all count.

A photograph of yourself is needed for your student record and ID. If you have already uploaded a photo through the Cedar portal, this is covered. If not, the college will take one at your appointment.

Additional support information, if relevant. If you have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) or need additional learning support, let the team know at your appointment so the right provision can be arranged before September.

The college's student services team will also be available at enrolment if you have questions about financial support or bus passes and have not yet applied for these.

Where do you go when you arrive at JLC for enrolment?

When you arrive at John Leggott College for your enrolment appointment, enter through the main reception doors. You will then be directed to your one-to-one appointment with a member of the admissions team, who will work through your programme of study with you and make sure everything is confirmed before you leave.

What if your GCSE results were not what you expected?

You should still attend your enrolment appointment even if your results did not go to plan. JLC's admissions team will talk through your options with you in person.

If your results did not meet the entry requirements for a Level 3 programme (A Level, BTEC, CTEC, or T Level), you may be able to enrol on JLC's Level 2 programme instead. The Level 2 route allows students to develop their GCSE qualifications and then progress onto Level 3 courses at JLC, so it is a genuine pathway forward rather than a dead end.

The team handles this conversation every results day. Attending your appointment is always the right decision, whatever your results.

What if you have changed your mind about your course choices?

Your enrolment appointment is the right time to raise any changes. The admissions team will discuss your subject choices before confirming your place, and if you want to switch a course, they will check entry requirements and availability on the day. If a change is possible, it can be made then and there.

If you are unsure which subjects to study and want guidance before your place is confirmed, JLC's careers team will be available during enrolment to talk through different programmes and how they connect to your longer-term goals.

What if you have not yet applied to John Leggott College?

It is not too late to apply. Email admissions@leggott.ac.uk to get started. If you already know which courses you want to study, include your choices in the email. If you are not sure yet, let the team know and they will arrange for you to speak with a careers adviser.

What if you cannot make your JLC enrolment appointment?

If you cannot attend your allocated time, contact the college as soon as possible at admissions@leggott.ac.uk. JLC can reschedule your appointment, but it is important to get in touch in advance. Enrolment slots are in high demand across the two days, and early contact gives the best chance of finding an alternative time.

If you have not received an enrolment appointment letter, check that your address is correct on your Cedar portal. If you still cannot find the letter, email admissions@leggott.ac.uk and the team will help.
