sixth form admissions Designed Just For You

We understand that your Sixth Form College offers a range of courses that attract applicants from diverse communities. We also understand that volume and simplicity of processing admissions is important to you, in order to provide prospective students with an excellent applicant experience.
HEIapply is empowering sixth form colleges nationwide to streamline admissions processes. Our intuitive online system is designed to complement and enhance your processes, enabling the ultimate applicant journey.

The Challenge


Sixth Forms are home to students from varied school backgrounds. We know that means thousands of applications through from schools, independent schools, grammar schools and academies both within and beyond your catchment area.

While the prospective student is interested in securing a place at your sixth form for their brighter future, parents will also be involved in supporting the application with supplementary information.


As if this wasn’t complex enough, the admissions process is intricate and varied requiring household income, medical and residential information from the beginning.

With high levels of manual effort involved, multiple requirements and lower levels of customer engagement, Sixth Forms are at risk of falling short on delivering the applicant journey the modern day applicant expects.

Our Solution

We recognise the need for Sixth Forms to operate efficiently, effectively and competitively. We know that speed and cost efficiency are hugely important.

That’s why we work with you to ensure that we have all the vital ingredients to create your perfect admissions solution at a budget that works for you.

Yes they can! The Applicant Portal comes with an inbuilt Communication Inbox for every applicant. Here the applicant can see a log of all communication (including emails, letters or instant messages) with your admissions officers and also send new instant messages, should they have any questions or concerns.

This is where the communication inbox comes into play. When logged into the system, the applicant is able to send a message to your admissions officers informing them of the mistake they have made. Any replies from the admissions team will be listed here as well

It is possible to withdraw the application at anytime. The applicant can simply use the communication inbox to convey this information to the admissions officers who will then be able to make all the necessary arrangements.

Yes it is! The Bulk Email functionality includes creating an Email List using filters that you apply to the data already within the system. You can apply one or as many filters as required to refine or widen the selection of applicants. There is no need to import CSV's, as all applicant email information already exists inside HEIapply.
