Student Support

Student Support


The ‘step-up’ to Sixth Form from GCSE can be a challenge, which is why we have a big team of experienced staff to support you. In addition to your class teachers, you can also get support from the following:

Tutor

Sixth Form tutors have a crucial role as a first contact for students. Your form tutor will see you every day, checking in on your wellbeing, workload and life in general. Form tutors will also monitor your attendance and liaise with your subject teachers and the Sixth Form Leadership Team if necessary.

Pastoral Officer

Your Pastoral Officer is a key figure during your time at Ashlawn. Your Pastoral Officer will monitor your attendance and your wellbeing. They will offer support in a number of different ways, should you need it, as well as staying in contact with your family as appropriate. As well as your form tutor, they will get to know you and give you opportunities to develop and reach your full potential.

Academic Mentor

We have a Sixth Form Academic Mentor who will monitor your overall academic progress and support you in achieving your academic goals and in enabling you to progress onto your post 18 choices.

Learning Coach

In the Study Hub we have an Academic Learning Coach who will support and guide you to develop good study habits. Their role is key to you becoming an effective learner; a student who makes the most of supported and independent study sessions.

Wellbeing Lead

Your mental health and wellbeing is extremely important to us. We have a full time member of staff attached to the Sixth Form, who is on hand to support you as you adapt to the new challenges that you may encounter in and out of school at this important time in your life.

Inclusion

Our Inclusion Department is at the heart of our school, with an incredible team including an Assistant Principal, Second in Faculty, an experienced SENDCo, Teaching Assistants and Learning Mentors, who are all on hand to support the individual needs of students.

We also have a dedicated admin personnel who can be contacted directly. We believe it is incredibly important to develop positive relationships with parents and carers, working together to achieve the best for every young person. Please contact us on: trumanf@ashlawn.tlet.org.uk

The Sixth Form is outstanding. Students of all abilities progress very well across a good range of study programmes, and develop the confidence needed to be successful in the future. The personal development of students in the Sixth Form is excellent.
