Support at the Sixth Form
For Financial Support Information click here
Strong pastoral care, support and guidance is extremely important in contributing to students’ success.
When you enrol at the Sixth Form, you will join a tutor group of about 20 students. Your Personal Tutor, will offer advice and guidance to help you settle in quickly and enjoy your time with us. Regular individual reviews of progress are a key element of this support. Your Personal Tutor will also help you to make the right decisions about career choices and applications for higher education or employment.
Tutor Groups are organised into departments, each of which is led by a Head of Department. If any problems arise or you need advice, both your Personal Tutor and your Head of Department are available to help you.
“Comprehensive tutorial support and effective systems monitor learners’ progress.” - Ofsted report, May 2009.
Student Services
Student Services is the focal point for all your support needs. Trained and experienced staff are available to help you to overcome any problem you may have during your time at the Sixth Form. Financial support, learning mentors, careers advisers, and counsellors are all available to help you succeed in your studies. A multi-faith worker is also available to support the spiritual needs of all students, whatever their religion or faith.
Additional Support
We have a large team of specialist staff who provide support to students who have any additional needs which may affect their
learning.

Information for Parents or Carers
Moving from school to Sixth Form can be an exciting but sometimes daunting prospect for all young people. We appreciate that parents and carers may also be apprehensive at this time.
How do we keep you informed?
In September, you will receive an invitation to a Parents’ Welcome Evening so that you can meet your son or daughter’s Personal Tutor and learn more about the courses they are studying.
Parents’ Consultation Evenings are held each year when parents and carers have the opportunity to meet with individual Subject Tutors. Progress Review Reports and Attendance Reports are sent to parents and carers regularly throughout the year. Parents and carers are welcome to contact their son or daughter’s Personal Tutor or Head of Department at any time. The Personal Tutor or Head of Department will also get in touch whenever necessary and particularly if there is a concern about a student’s work, well-being, attendance or punctuality.
We do value parental support for both the individual student and the Sixth Form as a whole. Your views are very important to us and do affect the way in which we support the students’ learning.
“Learners’ initial support needs are identified accurately and intervention is provided early in the course.” - Ofsted report, May 2009.
