Your child will receive academic support from their Tutors and pastoral support from their Student Progress Manager. However, the support you provide at home is equally critical to their success. The level and nature of your involvement will depend on your child's age and learning abilities. Active parental engagement enhances their educational experience and fosters better outcomes, making your role indispensable in their homeschooling journey.
Tutors will make an initial welcome call and provide detailed, encouraging feedback on assignments. Your child can contact Tutors via the Canvas online system for help and support, though Tutors do not give online tutorials. The Student Progress Manager (SPM) will be your main contact with the College, ready to respond to questions and offer advice. The SPM will closely monitor your child’s progress to ensure they stay on track. As a parent, your support is crucial.
The learners stories showcase both their personal development and academic progress. Explore the distinct challenges, successes, and experiences they have encountered, and witness the positive influence that our nurturing atmosphere and committed educators have had on their educational paths.
Begin the process of enrolling in sixth form (A Levels) by filling out the online registration form available on our website. It is important to input correct student information and contact details.
Once approved, arrange for an evaluation to establish the suitable tuition level for your child. At this meeting, you will have the opportunity to meet our educators and familiarize yourself with our teaching approaches.
