Further Information

Vulnerable Students

You will be eligible for a small amount of financial support if you are either in care or you are on free school meals.

For 2024/2025, this is £10 per week, this could change after final numbers are considered, or if numbers increase throughout the academic year. This is increased if students are in care.  Payments are made to match students’ weekly attendance.

If you think you will be eligible then complete the application form which is available from the Sixth Form office.

The Bursary is only guaranteed for students in care.

All other students MUST apply for free school meals and have this given to them by their local council, please go to the relevant website.

You might be eligible for financial support if your family earns less that £16,190. This will be publicised when we know if we have sufficient funds available. Please listen for information from your tutor in your weekly bulletin.

Stress & Anxiety

Sixth Form can be a stressful time, with workload and deadline pressures never seeming to go away

Students’ emotional wellbeing is of great concern to us. Staff are available at all times during the school day to talk to students. We also have on site counsellors available if required. There is no stigma attached to asking for help – whatever the concern.

Remember your Form Tutor is;

  • A parent in school
  • An academic mentor
  • A supporter and advocate
  • A UCAS guide and referee
  • Your first point of call- Academic and pastoral
