Support for Students - a Learning Partnership

We will do all we can to help and support you during your time in the Academy's Sixth Form.  Whether you are a student on an advanced (level 3) programme looking towards University and higher education, or entering the Sixth Form on a foundation (level 1) or intermediate (level 2) course, we want to ensure your progress to the next course of study, further training or area of employment that is right for you.

The team of Sixth Form staff, including the Head of Sixth Form, Learning Mentors, personal and subject tutors, admin officers, and other guidance and support staff, are all here to support you through your time with us. 

Your success will be achieved through a strong, three way partnership, between us, the Academy's staff, you, and your parents/carers.  They too have a significant role to play in supporting your attendance and progress.

In short, all three partners need to be 100% committed to your success.

All students and parents/carers will be asked to sign up to a 'Sixth Form Learning Agreement'.

As well as subject and course tutor support, all students will have a personal tutor and other specialists who will provide support and monitor progress throughout your time spent in the Sixth Form.  This will include:

Regular meetings with students in tutorial time to set individual learning targets and monitor progress, including attendance and completion of homework and coursework, and monitor overall progress

Communication with parents through Sixth Form reports, parents' evenings, and other communication as necessary

Support for University and UCAS applications

Careers and further training advice and guidance

Financial advice and guidance through a dedicated Bursary manager
