SUPPORT FOR STUDENTS<br />
SUPPORT FOR STUDENTS<br />
Student support is central to everything we do at Warrington & Vale Royal College. We pride<br />
ourselves in our ability to support each and every student throughout their college experience. We<br />
always go the extra mile to make sure our students have the resources, people and care they need<br />
to thrive at college.<br />
Pastoral support<br />
You will be allocated a Progress Coach who will meet you on<br />
a 1-1 basis, monitor your attendance and performance, offer<br />
advice and guidance and help you to prepare for your next<br />
step after college.<br />
You will also take part in our ASPIRE tutorial programme,<br />
which supports your personal and social development with<br />
a series of talks from guest speakers such as Cheshire<br />
Police and the NHS. A host of topics are covered, including:<br />
mental health, careers, UCAS, drive safe, volunteering and<br />
British Values.<br />

college in a safe and secure environment. All staff are<br />

wellbeing. They provide support and advice on a range<br />
