Student Support & Inclusion
We’re here to see that you adapt well to College life and receive the support that you need to make the most of your studies.
Student Central is where you can access a range of support services from friendly College staff.
We are committed to ensuring each student is able to make informed career decisions upon completion of their studies.
We work in partnership with Carers Wakefield & District to support young adult carers.
The Mentoring for Excellence Programme is for A Level students who have been identified as high achieving and have the potential to progress to a top university - be part of it!
We strongly urge you to disclose any disability or learning difficulty you may have prior to enrolment so that we can make reasonable adjustments to support you.
