Pastoral Support

At Thornleigh Sixth Form we believe that pastoral support is a major part of your ability to succeed.

Thornleigh Sixth Form has a team who oversee the following:

• Attendance and punctuality
• UCAS applications and support
• Work experience and careers guidance
• Academic progress, coaching and interventions
• Student welfare 
• Enrichment programme
• Communications with parents and stakeholders

We believe that the key professional who can have the greatest impact in the educational journey of students is the group tutor who has a key responsibility for ensuring that students:

• Understand the context of the college environment and the expectations for learning
• Are encouraged to maintain a high attendance and punctuality record
• Are equipped for the learning day and have plans for their non-contact time
• Are kept up-to-date about key priority areas
• Experience the delivery of a planned tutor time programme
• Are made aware of extracurricular opportunities and enrichment activities offered by the Sixth Form
• Are coached to reflect on phases of learning and strategies to further improve
• Are supported in the development of a CV that professionally advertises their key skills and achievements
• Are given the appropriate support to complete a UCAS application and personal statement with incremental feedback and notes to improve
• Know that their voice is heard and that a key member of staff cares for their welfare
• Are aware that there are relevant support systems in college to support their growth as young adults
