Academic Issues
Post 16 study is different in many ways to what you will have experienced at GCSEs. It is not surprising that some students find this jump a challenge. Whilst we expect you to be resilient and committed learners, we also recognise that there are times when more input is required. Your tutors and subject teacher will be your first port of call in this instance. Further support and guidance will also be available from your Director of 6th Form Studies (Ms Blease). Don’t forget to discuss these issues with your peers…it is likely that they too have faced challenges with their work and will likely have found helpful strategies for dealing with them.
Pastoral Issues
If there are more personal issues that you need to discuss then there will be several people in school that will be able to provide both a listening ear and direct you to information advice and guidance that is relevant to your situation. It is likely that you will want to speak to someone you know and trust and with this in mind, you may wish to speak with your tutor, a teacher, senior staff or the member of staff in charge of Child protection. If we cannot help then we will endeavour to put you in touch with the people who can.
