The College seeks to work closely with parents and guardians, in order to ensure the success and wellbeing of students. This webpage will be updated periodically and provide information and guidance useful to parents/guardians of students currently enrolled at the College, as well as those of students considering making an application.

The College also seeks to keep in touch with parents of students and prospective students via email. Parental email addresses are provided by students on their application form and again at enrolment. We would be grateful if parents/guardians could ensure that the College is informed of any changes of email address.

If there are particular queries or concerns, especially those linked to a particular student and their progress:

For all enrolled students: the first point of contact should be the student’s personal tutor, who can be contacted via email or the college switchboard on 01206 500700. More general queries can often be dealt with by the College General Office Team on 01206 500700.

For students yet to enrol: all queries should be directed to the Admissions Team on 01206 414008/414005
