Education NewsStudent Support
Most students need some extra help with their studies from time to time. Innovative strategies have been developed to support individual students
Faculty System
Every student belongs to a faculty at the college.
There are currently three different faculties:
- Science Faculty Ground Floor
- Maths & Business Technologies Faculty 1st Floor
- Communications Faculty 2nd Floor
Each faculty has a floor of the LRC where students can go to get some advice and guidance.
Achievement Coaches
Your Achievement Coach will help support and guide you throughout your time at the college.
Students with Care Responsibilities
We recognise that some students will have a substantial role in providing elements of care for other members of the family. Understanding this, we would make every effort to provide flexibility.
Young Parents
We can support your requirements and hopefully integrate family and study arrangements.
College Counsellor
The college offers a professional service, with a qualified counsellor available for appointments and for weekly drop-in sessions. Gill Griffith offers a valuable service available to all of our students. Gill is a member of the The British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP).
Financial Support
Provided you are under 19 years of age when you start college and have been resident in the UK for three years or more, tuition is free. A variety of financial support arrangements are in place to help you where problems may arise.
Information, Advice and Guidance
Helping all of our students consider and plan their next step is something we excel at and take great pride in. Our Careers Personal Advisor works full time at the college and is always available to help you when choosing and applying for Higher Education courses and jobs.
In 2011, we were delighted to lead the way as the first college to be awarded the Information, Advice & Guidance (IAG) Staffordshire & Stoke-on- Trent Quality Mark, confirming that we are meeting the needs of our young people in this key area.
Students with a Disability
If you have any physical disability or special educational needs, you can be sure of receiving help from the learner support team at the college and we will make every effort to adjust our provision and facilities to meet your needs. The college has a Disability Equality Scheme. People with a disability have been involved in the production of the scheme, which provides details of how we actively seek to ensure that disabled people are treated fairly.
Copies of the scheme are available from the Director of Student Services, Nigel Mansfield.
