We strongly believe in a personalised approach to student support in which many people play a role including;
- Tutor who they see on a daily basis
- Subject based mentoring
- Head of Year
- Sixth Form Learning Manager who is available throughout the day
Students can speak to Miss Rowlands and Mrs Pass in the Sixth Form office should they have any issues and concerns.
