Your guide to personal development, behaviour and welfare.

Welcome to our College. We pride ourselves on making all of our students feel welcome, safe and secure in our fantastic learning environments.

To help you settle in and enjoy your time with us we offer a range of support. At the start of your course you'll be assigned a personal tutor who will guide and monitor you during your time with us. In your one-to-one tutorials, which are held regularly throughout the year, you will have the chance to discuss careers, health and social education, as well as academic progress. This resource is a re-cap on lots of that information.

Whether you are progressing onto your course from school or college you will be experiencing changes and all the emotions that go with it. You will find yourself meeting new friends, experiencing new things and learning a new way. Whatever you choose to do, step up to the challenge and fully embrace the opportunities you have to make a difference and achieve your own personal goals. Have fun and take part, join a new club or try an activity that you may not have tried before. You never know, you may have many hidden talents waiting to surface, now is the time to find out!

We hope this handbook will help support you to become an independent and resourceful student.
