Sixth Form
Students in our Sixth Form feel well supported as they progress through two years of study. The academic challenge is significant and our students will face a range of additional challenges as they mature into young adults ready for the real world.
Through all of these challenges there is a supportive pastoral system that proactively ensures all students are well looked after.
Form Tutors
The daily point of contact and usually the first person students turn to when there is an issue. Tutors deliver health, career and academic advice and really get to know the students in their groups well.

Inclusion Team
A skilled team of non-teaching staff provide counselling and often just a person to listen. Well thought of by the students, this support is on offer to all.
External Agencies
Through our regular pastoral meetings, all of these staff work together as a team to provide the best support possible for each student. We have established and strong links to a range of external agencies that support students when we cannot.
