Pastoral Care and Support

It is important to remember that your son or daughter is never on their own. Wherever they are in their studies or in their life, there is someone to help them.
Our dedicated staff are here to help them to:

  • motivate themselves
  • manage their workload
  • get support for a learning difficulty and/or disability
  • deal with any personal difficulties that may arise during their time with us
  • help plan their future.

Pastoral Support

All students are assigned to a Progress Tutor when they start college. They will have regular timetabled sessions with their tutor to help them to review their progress and to study the tutorial curriculum. Their Progress Tutor will help them work through any personal concerns or those related to their course and they will write references for job and university applications. Progress Tutors are the first point of contact for help or advice.

Contact with Parents/Carers

The college highly values the contact we have with parents/carers. Your first point of contact will usually be with your son or daughter’s Progress Tutor who will have an overview of their programme of study. He or she will contact you if there are any concerns, however, you are welcome to make direct contact with the Progress Tutor to discuss any issues of importance.

During the year there are other formal opportunities for you to meet staff:

  • Welcome evenings, information for parents about their son or daughter’s courses and the college
  • Progress evenings, to discuss your son or daughter’s progress with their subject tutors.
 

“We are pleased with York College because it represents a good intermediate stage between school and university teaching. There is a greater range of subjects and the teachers are used to dealing with older pupils.”. Parent of a first-year student
