Paston College provides outstanding support for students to help them succeed and achieve their ambitions.

Personal tutors

All students have a personal tutor who will help you settle in and support you throughout your time at College. Tutors are a vital part of your College experience and you will see them both in group sessions and on a one to one basis. 

Their role is to support your progress towards your own personal targets. They will provide you with personal development opportunities and help you on your journey to university level study, apprenticeships or employment.

If you require additional support with your studies, you will find help in the Study Skills Centre. This is a quiet and supportive working environment where students can study alone, work within small groups or work one to one with a member of the Additional Support Team.

It is open during college hours and it is well equipped with computers, desks for group work and staff available to give advice and support to you. Additional support may be available to you for a short period of time or for the duration of your studies at college.

For students who require and receive a weekly one to one support sessions, a programme of study is agreed with targets set. These are reviewed at regular intervals and shared with teachers to ensure that the student is receiving the most appropriate help.
