Your Personal Tutor
As soon as you start your studies, you’ll be allocated a Personal Tutor. This is the person you can come to for help, advice and support – whether it’s for your learning programme or personal issues. You’ll attend regular tutorials and together with your tutor, you’ll decide on your Individual Learning Plan (ILP). You’ll be able to agree your own personal learning targets, talk about your progress and, of course, your achievements at college will be recorded.
Examinations
When it comes to exam time, your tutor will make sure you’re entered for the correct exam or registered for the correct qualification. They are there to help you and support you with your examination entries and registrations. For examination details, i.e. dates, times and venues, you’ll need to refer to the relevant Examinations Notice board at either Northampton or Daventry. We’ll normally send examination/course results and certificates to your home address, and you can collect summer results for AS & A2/ Applied AS & A2/GCSEs from the College.
Equal Opportunities
We are committed to a policy of inclusiveness and diversity. Our Single Equalities Scheme aims to promote an environment of equality and stresses that nobody will be treated less favourably than others on grounds of race, gender, belief, sexual orientation, age, disability or learning difficulty. If at any stage you feel you are being= discriminated against or harassed, use the College Grievance Procedures to raise the issue. This procedure can be initiated through your tutor, Programme Manager or through Learner Support.
