Pastoral Care

“The teachers are absolutely amazing at building positive relationships with students, which really are beneficial. All the staff are extremely supportive and helpful.” Student

Students receive outstanding pastoral and academic support at Beacon Academy Sixth Form.

We know that our students’ happiness is key to their success, which is why we adopt a holistic approach to prioritising their wellbeing and ensuring their all-round progress. 

We know our students incredibly well, and care about their wellbeing and mental health. Our professional, caring and exceptionally effective team of staff support students through all aspects of Sixth Form life, building relationships that help our young people to develop a sense of belonging and feel secure in the knowledge that there is always someone there for them.

We have a dedicated Head of Year and Assistant Head of Year responsible for each year group and a team of counsellors who are all able to support our students.

We also have a Sixth Form Bursary that offers qualifying students financial support to help with the costs associated with Sixth Form study.

By prioritising the welfare and wellbeing of our young people, we can effectively support them to achieve their academic goals and acquire the skills and attributes they need to progress to the world beyond Beacon.
