EXCELLENCE IN EVERY THING
STUDENT SUPPORT
PASTORAL CARE
STUDENT AND PARENT PORTALS
Your Progress Coach will oversee all your well-being,
progress and achievements; working closely with your
teachers, parents or carers and help to support you to
manage your personal and academic progress. Tutor
group sessions take place weekly throughout the year
and are an important and compulsory part of your
timetable. Here you will focus on a range of topics from
healthy lifestyles, progression planning and developing
an advanced level mindset. You will meet regularly with
your Progress Coach for a 1:1 meeting to review your
progress and to agree personal performance targets.
You will take part in a variety of Learner Voice activities
to help shape The Sixth Form and have the opportunity
to join an active Learner Voice group or become
a Student Governor or Ambassador.
The Student Portal can be accessed anywhere
through The Sixth Form’s intranet or website and
provides information and regular updates about your
attendance, exams, and performance reviews as well
as your current timetable. The Parent Portal is available
through our website and in addition to the information
on attendance and progress, it provides regular news
updates and all student progress reviews for the year.
Learning mentor support is available to help you
develop advanced level study skills and provides access
to specialist advice from external support agencies.
LEARNING RESOURCE CENTRE (LRC)
The LRC provides a breadth of support for your
learning. The online resource library, student intranet,
TEAMS and Google virtual learning environment (VLE)
complement the traditional range of books, journals
and learning resources. Practical help is available to
assist with researching for homework, coursework
or assignments.
SAFEGUARDING
Safeguarding is defined by the government as
‘The process of protecting children from abuse
or neglect, preventing impairment of their health
and development, and ensuring they grow up in
circumstances consistent with the provision of safe and
effective care that enables children to have optimum
life chances and enter adulthood successfully.’
The Sixth Form is committed to the safety and wellbeing of all students and has specialist safeguarding
