All students have a personal tutor. They are here to help you keep on track with your studies, ensure you receive any extra learning support you may need and to generally help you with any questions/queries you may have.
Support for Students with a disability
We are here to give you support if you have a particular disability such as: a visual or hearing impairment, speech difficulties, wheelchair use and/or other needs.

Student Identity Cards

When you start College you will be given an identification card. You will need to keep your card with you at all times when you are on the College premises. The card is your responsibility and a charge will be made for the replacement of any lost cards.
