What are your next steps after College?

Now that you have collected your A Level results and are about to embark on your next adventure, please use the form below to tell about us your plans for after College. It’s always great to hear bout the fantastic destinations our students progress to after leaving Winstanley!

It should only take a couple of minutes to complete.

Thank you!

Next steps


Students will have indicated to College whether they wish to receive their results electronically via Cedar or in person in College on Thursday 15th August. 

What happens once you have received your results, will depend on the results you have achieved. 

Please don’t worry if things don’t go to plan!  There will be a team of experienced staff on hand to help and advise you about what to do next. Guidance on how to contact College on Results Day will be provided. 

Once you receive your results, you will be in one of the positions below:     

What your status in UCAS Track means and what to do next

Your status in Track

What this means

What you should do next

Congratulations! Your place at [uni name] for [course title] has been confirmed.

You're in! You've been firmly accepted at the university or college shown.

Great news! Make sure you check the details carefully in Track.

You should then receive details from the university or college about what to do next.

You have replied to your offer(s) and are holding at least one conditional place.

We are waiting for your university or college to let us know if you've met the conditions and have been accepted.

If you meet the conditions of your offer(s), the university or college will confirm your place in Track. (You then might need to send them details of your results, if they ask for them.)

You are in Clearing. Your Clearing number is [Clearing number].

You aren't holding any offers at a university or college – this might be because you received no offers or because you didn't meet the conditions of the offers you did receive. 

Don't worry; you might be able to find another course in the UCAS Clearing service.

Remember, if you're waiting for exam results, you won't be able to use Clearing until you receive them.

You can now apply for a course available in Clearing.

Look for courses when the Clearing vacancy search becomes live within the UCAS search tool, then contact the university or college to discuss your options.

If you get permission, you can add the Clearing choice in Track.

[Uni name] has offered you an unconditional place with substantial changes to your original choice.

You are now waiting for confirmation from [uni name] (your other university or college).

This means one of your universities or colleges has offered you a changed course offer, but that you’re still waiting for your other choice to make a decision.

The changed course offer could be a change to the course itself, the start date or the point of entry.

This is usually if you didn’t meet the conditions but the university or college wants to offer you an alternative place anyway.

Check the details of the changed course offer in Track.

If the changed course offer is your Firm choice, you can accept it now if you want to study that course, or you can wait to see if your Insurance choice confirms your offer – if so, you’ll be able to accept that instead if you want.

If the changed course offer is your Insurance offer, you’ll have to wait to see if your Firm choice confirms you.

At least one of your universities or colleges has offered you an unconditional place with substantial changes to your original choice.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This means you’ve heard back from your choices, and at least one of them is a changed course offer.  

This could be a change to the course, start date or point of entry.

This is usually if you didn’t meet the conditions but the university or college wants to offer you an alternative place anyway.

Check the details of the changed course offer in Track.

If the changed course offer is your Firm choice, you can accept it if you want to study that course. If not, you can accept your Insurance choice if they have confirmed your place.

If both offers are changed course offers, then you can accept whichever one you would prefer.

If you want to accept an offer, you'll need to reply in Track within five days or you will lose the offer(s).
