• On-site Pastoral Support

  Students living in residential accommodation benefit from our experienced Residential Support Team, available at all times day or night. They will guide and support you in personal matters and future planning. The Residential Support Team work closely with the Curriculum to help you stay on track with your course and help you achieve your educational goals.

  The dedication of the Residential Support Team and the collaboration with the Curriculum are important and make a big difference in the students' experiences and outcomes. Students are supported academically but also encouraged to develop socially through enrichment activities. Staff are passionate about the experiences that the residential students benefit from, and the link with Curriculum played a part in the recent Ofsted inspection in June 2024 where the Residential team were graded Outstanding!

  A wide range of enrichment and social activities are also available, helping you develop your skills and expand your circle of friends. Many of these enrichment activities are student-led, with suggestions about clubs and sports teams taken forward so that you can enjoy your time living away from home.
