We want our students' parents and guardians to be completely informed about life and progress at the college.
Personal coaches for your children as well as potential calls and emails from other faculty members are possible.
You might occasionally be invited to participate in telephone or written surveys because we are interested in hearing your thoughts and opinions on how we are doing.
One significant distinction from being in Year 11 is that in college, students must learn to take ownership of their own learning.
A crucial aspect of college life and an essential component of getting ready for university and the workforce is learning how to learn independently.
When necessary, students should seek assistance and guidance from their instructors, personal coaches, senior tutors, the student support manager, and/or counsellors.
At least four times a year, members of the teaching staff comment on student achievement.
The Student Tracking & Reporting System tracks each student's development and accomplishments (STaRS).
You are more than welcome to go to a Parents' Evening where you may go over your kid's development in great detail.
Over 200 personal coaches who are assisted by head teachers, senior tutors, managers, and specialised services form the foundation of the system.
A Skills for Success certification guarantees that students understand the requirements of their course, acquire the necessary skills, and successfully transfer from high school to college.
It's crucial to write down the name of your child's individual coach and use it as a reference whenever you speak with us.
You are more than welcome to get in touch with the personal coach whenever you want to set up a meeting to talk about your worries or find out how your child is doing.
Attending courses, tutorials, and exams on time is crucial for student success and is required.
Teachers and personal coaches keep track of students' punctuality and attendance and take appropriate action when needed.
This can entail calling home to let parents or guardians know the student is absent.
Please be aware that attendance is a requirement for Learner Support Fund awards, paying registration and test costs, and continuing on to a different course of study at the College.
Absence from College has a detrimental effect on progress and achievement.
Please call the absence line at 0121 602 7675 to assist us in keeping track of attendance.
We will do all we can to develop potential through help, support and guidance, but every student needs to play a part to ensure their own success.
Students are expected to work in their own time, both at home and in College, on assignments, homework, exam preparation and research.
We at Halesowen College are aware that every student has a unique set of circumstances.
From the moment they apply to study with us, we want to ensure that they receive the proper support.
