The student support system is a fundamental part of the experience at PA High; we take the personal development and welfare of our students very seriously. We have a team of student support staff in the sixth form who will oversee attendance and any pastoral concerns relating to students. We will support students where they are able or signpost to other colleagues or services where they deem this to be more appropriate.
We know that there are times when students need additional support and so we offer the following:
- A dedicated sixth form tutor
- A team of wellbeing ambassadors
The Personal Tutor
Every student has their own tutor who they meet on a daily basis. Tutors are the first port of call for any worries for students, but they also deliver their Personal, Social Health Education (PSHE) programme and act as academic mentors.
Sixth form Bursary
The 16-19 bursary is available to provide students with financial support in the Sixth Form. Discretionary bursaries are also available to support with a range of needs, such as; food, transport, school clothing, educational resources and trips. Additionally, eligible students may also be entitled to a vulnerable bursary. Full details can be found on the 16-19 Bursary Policy, see below...
