Ely Sixth Form - Individual and Pastoral Support

Students need to be well supported if they are to fulfil their potential.We provide students with a wide-ranging induction programme backed – up by intensive individual support, including:

Pastoral Support
Students are fully supported by our friendly and experienced tutor team. Tutors are always available and set aside the last twenty minutes of every day to meet with students.
Our Student Advisor is on hand to help students with most problems they are likely to face, including health issues, money matters, legal problems and housing.

Careers Guidance
Careers Guidance is available to all students throughout their time in the Sixth Form.
We have a specialist Careers Tutor and Careers Room. Close contact is maintained with Connexions and advisers are based at the College. Work Experience or Community Service is available to all students, if desired, either on
a regular basis throughout the year or during a holiday.

University Guidance
The UCAS programme is built into the College’s calendar and includes on-line application, Higher Education Conferences, Open Days, advice on personal statements, finance, the admissions process and so on.
Mock interviews and advice clinics for entrance exams are available for those students who require them.

Individual Support & Monitoring Progress
Students monitor their own progress against national targets. On a regular basis theymeet with their tutor to discuss progress. Intensive support is available through the Student Advisor.
Twice a year each student has a formal Progress Review during which teaching staff, tutors and the Director will discuss progress and provide written feedback.
