You will be allocated a Success Coach during your time at L6.
Your Success Coach will work to motivate, inspire, support and encourage you alongside your teachers to achieve the best that you can. They contribute to a culture of high expectations and excellence within the college which is achieved through high-quality support and meaningful intervention at an individual level.
Your Success Coach will provide effective mentoring and personal development delivery through timetabled tutorial sessions each week and will support you in enrichment opportunities to further your learning. Our aim is for you to become an independent learner and complete your courses successfully, allowing you to progress beyond college into appropriate employment, apprenticeships or higher education.
Your coach will ensure your progress and wellbeing throughout your time at college. This means that they will monitor, track and document your attendance, punctuality and discipline daily, ensuring appropriate and prompt action is taken to help you remain on track at all times. You will have access to regular one-to-one meetings
outside of the main tutorial programme delivery.
Lowestoft Sixth Form has a bespoke tutorial programme designed with key stakeholders to provide a rounded and enjoyable, progress-focused programme. The tutorial sessions are designed to ensure that students have all the information they need to progress effectively at college and achieve the best possible outcomes while continuing to feel safe, supported and cared for.
Most sessions are student-led and personalised to individual requirements. This is complemented by regular short assemblies for college information plus many external speakers and events. These include talks from university and apprenticeship providers and a range of speakers including sessions on youth parliament, the importance of democracy, and specialists in sleep and its impact on study through a valuable and unique insight into sleep deprivation, plus much more.
Your next steps will be reviewed with your Success Coach regularly, with personal targets agreed with you. In addition, all students can access one-to-one sessions with our careers advisors or wellbeing team to discuss next steps or for support with study skills or wider progress support. This will secure your continued achievement and your enjoyment of college.
