Academic Support

A strong partnership between students and teachers enables every student to reach their potential:

Teachers hold the learning of all students as important.
We register students in every lesson and monitor progress in each subject carefully.
Our teachers can offer individual help when this is required, and will give clear advice for improvement.
For sixth form students, there are additional workshops for students to resolve difficulties and to practise what they have learnt.
We recognise that students have a variety of learning styles and needs, and our teachers work hard to suit each student.
We welcome laptops and other technical support in the classroom environment.
Baseline testing when a student arrives in the college allows academic progress to be monitored.
All students receive regular testing and effort grades which are reported home at least twice a term.
