Information for Parents

Here at HoW College, we are dedicated to providing the best experience for your child from the very beginning of their journey with us. We want to make the transition from school to college as smooth and stress free as possible. 

From their very first day with HoW College students can access a range of support services, from Careers to Wellbeing to our Specialist Learning Support Team, to help ensure they feel safe and supported during their time with us.  

As well as pastoral support, the College provides a range of activities for students to get involved with to aid their personal development. They can also be involved with our Student Union (SU), the student voice within the organisation, this is an excellent way for students to have their say at college and it provides them with life skills, confidence and a chance to boost their CV. 

We understand that starting college can be a daunting experience which is why all our students are assigned a Personal Tutor (PT) when they start with us. Our PTs monitor attendance, set learning plans and targets and are the first point of contact if students have any concerns about their studies. 

Vocational Courses: 

We offer a range of vocational courses to help kickstart students futures, these are perfect for those who have completed their GCSEs and are ready to progress into an industry they’re interested in.  

All our vocational courses provide students with the correct practical, theoretical and transferable skills needed to succeed within their chosen career and beyond. As well as this, students gain hands-on experience during their course as work experience is integrated into all our programmes. The College has excellent industry links, and we work with a range of employers to ensure students get the best out of their industry placement. 

What's on:

Throughout the year we put on a range of open events, these are an excellent opportunity to meet with our expert tutors, view our state-of-the-art facilities, browse our range of courses, ask any questions and even make an application with the help of our teams.
