How we support you

We believe each student is unique and we welcome the individuality you will bring to the groups of new and old friends you will make, your classmates and the College as a whole. Should you need it, you will find help around the College, both practically and in the form of guidance from our dedicated and approachable staff.

It is important to us that you get the most out of your time at Callywith College and the support you’ll get will ensure you have a positive learning experience and enjoy student life to the full. Our Student Services Team are on hand to help with all kinds of advice from university, careers to mental health and wellness, while our Academic Services and Learning Support teams can help with additional study or IT needs.

Driving to college

We recognise that being a parent or carer can be hard work at times and if your young person is experiencing difficult or challenging circumstances aside from their studies, it can be even harder.

Keeping informed with some of the issues young people experience can be difficult as this is an ever-changing picture, but we have included some useful links, articles and advice to get you started HERE.

Parent and carer information on the Parent / College Portal, College Online Shop and information on reporting an absence and viewing attendance can be found here, where you can also find information about the support we offer at college.

At Callywith College you will get to know many members of staff and other students easily. You will be assigned a Personal Development Tutor who you will see weekly.

Find out more about how Personal Development Tutors can support you here.
