Parental Testimony
“Although being academically astute, my daughter has taken quite a while to settle into the new regime of college life after studying at an all Girls School for the previous five years. However, her Academic Coach has assisted greatly. I too have had many conversations with her coach and have found her to be professional, caring, emphatic, understanding, but most importantly of all, she has the best interests of the students at the core of what she does. My daughter has built a fabulous relationship with her coach and now feels that if any issues arise at College, she can talk to her about them. As a parent, I am assured that my daughter has someone looking out for her and monitoring things closely when something goes wrong. I am glad that the College has an individual like her on their pastoral team. She truly is an asset and I for one am very grateful to her for her hard work, tenacity and the personal touch she gives to her students.”
Mrs O’Neill, parent of a Year 13 student
“I have been so impressed with the coaching available at the College. It really is wonderful that students feel there is someone they can go to and talk things through with. My son’s coach has kept him on track and she genuinely cares about him and all the students she coaches. She understands parents too, because she has been there for me too. It’s so helpful to be able to call her and talk to her on the phone and if she’s busy when you call she will always call back. I can’t ask for more from her than she already gives.”
Mrs Ditta, parent of Year 13 Student
“We have been absolutely delighted; really so happy with the service from the College. All the tutors and teachers have been marvellous and so giving of their time. They have always been willing to answer any questions we or Alex has had about courses or anything else. They have allayed his fears when he’s had any and supported him so well. Alex has really ‘found himself’ at College and I do think the College is a good bridge to university. There is definitely the expectation of more independent study, but I think that’s a good thing and an advantage when going onto university.”
Mrs Tabrizi, parent of a former student
"I know from speaking with Georgina that The Sixth Form College has been a very positive experience. The biggest plus for her has been the rapport she has developed with teachers. The relationship is more peer to peer and there is respect there between teachers and students, which is helpful."
