Student Support

You will have a personal tutor who, in most cases, will also teach you, so you will get to know him or her well. At least once a week you will meet for a tutor session which may be one-to-one or in a group. Your tutor will help you settle into College life, achieve your academic potential and plan for the future.

Other people are also available to support you include the Careers Adviser, the Connexions Personal Adviser, the Counsellor and your Student Services Manager (whose role is like a Head of House or Year).

Progress Targets

Your tutor and teachers will regularly discuss with you how you are doing against your personal targets. Each term you will agree an action plan with your tutor outlining steps to take to help you fulfil your potential. You will have your own Individual Learning Plan (ILP) to inform you of your progress and provide a focus on what you need to do to improve.

In Partnership with Parents

We know that a close relationship between College, you and your parents, has a very positive effect on your performance. The College holds regular parents' evenings, contacts parents if we cannot resolve problems satisfactorily with you, and encourages parents to contact us if they have concerns.
