Your Journey to Becoming a Franklin Student

Everything you need to know about becoming a Franklin Student!

Your journey to becoming a Franklin Student

 

1. Taster Day

We hope you enjoyed your Taster Day and the chance to experience life as a Franklin student. It was wonderful to see you trying out your chosen courses, meeting your future teachers, making new friends, and getting to know the campus. We hope this gave you a real insight into what to expect when you join us in September. If you have any urgent questions over the summer, you can contact us on 01472 875000 or email admissions@franklin.ac.uk 

 

2. Frank Fest

We loved seeing you all having such a great time at Frank Fest. The day was a huge hit! Take a look at our photo gallery and see if you can spot yourself!


3. Summer Bridging Work

Don’t forget to complete your bridging work, it’s a fantastic way to explore your chosen subjects in more depth and get a head start before September. The Bridge will be open from 11th-15th August, so feel free to come to Franklin and work on your bridging tasks. 
If you come to College to complete your bridging work, please bring your login details, as you’ll need them to access your work. It’s essential that this work is completed and brought with you to your enrolment appointment.  Please bring it with you, either on paper as a printout or on your digital device.

Holidays during term time

At Franklin, we do not authorise holidays during term time, as lost learning can significantly impact students' outcomes and progression.

New applicants who take holidays at the start of term and miss orientation may not be guaranteed a place. Additionally, any applicant with a booked holiday in September will be referred to a senior leader for review.

According to our Learning Behaviour Policy, any student who takes a holiday during term time will receive a place at risk (PAR)  letter. This means that if they do not recover lost learning and fail to meet expectations, their place at college could be at risk.

For more details regarding Franklin’s Learning Behaviour Policy and the college’s place at risk procedure please refer to the policy section of our website.
