Here at Stockton Sixth Form College we pride ourselves on providing a first class pastoral care system. From the moment you join college, you will be assigned a Progress Tutor who will support your progression and welfare at college. You will also be supported by one of our Faculty Managers. Each week you will meet with your Progress Tutor and tutor group and follow an active tutorial programme which aims to support your studies and prepare you for your next steps, whether that be university or employment.
Parents are introduced to the colleges induction and student support programme early in the first term and we keep parents informed of progress through regular reports, parents evenings and encourage parents to access an online portal where subject performance can be continually monitored.
Before you enrol, we offer information on the support available to you and an assessment of your personal needs. Once you are a student, we can offer academic support and more specialist support for dealing with the development of communication, numeracy, IT skills, English for speakers of other languages, help for dyslexic students and much more.

We welcome applications from students with learning difficulties/disabilities and we try to make the transition from school to college as smooth as possible for all students.
Our formal Disability Statement tells you more about how we can help students overcome any difficulty or disability, so each student’s time at college is successful.
