Student Support
The Student Support team is based in the common room and is the focal point for all advice, guidance and additional support. Our Student Support Leader is available to all students for confidential advice and support on any matter. The service is available 8:30 - 4:30 every day.
Every detail of students study time has been carefully considered and designed to support each student and their different needs. We have a constantly updated Sixth Form Careers library, a state of the art Learning Resource Centre and each student is assigned to a personal tutor for advice and support. You will benefit from many speakers
visiting the Sixth Form to advise on careers and different

 

subjects areas, including Solicitors, Bankers, Teachers, and Tradesmen.

You will have the opportunity to 'shadow' professionals in their work and learn from these experiences. All students complete a 'work shadowing' placement in Year 12.
A careers exhibition will be held every other year at the Sixth Form. North West universities will visit the Sixth Form to discuss University life, choices, and offer advice on courses and other aspects of university study. A trip to the Manchester Central Exhibition Centre takes place in March of Year 12 to begin consideration of higher education options.
