The wellbeing of our students is at the forefront of everything we do. We aim to provide a safe and secure environment for students where everyone can thrive.
Students are allocated to forms to encourage them to mix with students from a variety of schools and across different subjects. Form Tutors remain with their form to promote continuity of pastoral care. Form Tutors work in partnership with our experienced Sixth Form Team to support the welfare and academic progress of our students. We seek to provide the individualised care and attention that are so important in ensuring that no young person is overlooked or overwhelmed.
If students have a pastoral issue, or need any kind of help of advice, they can visit Student Support and talk to our Student Support Managers at any time.
We train over sixty of our students to work with new students as Peer Mentors. Each Year 12 form is supported by a small team of Year 13 students to help aid transition to Sixth Form life and A Level study.
We also offer a counselling service and any student can ask for a referral.
Our SENDCo is experienced at working with students with a variety of additional needs and ensures all our young people are able to access the curriculum and reach their potential.
Are you a student seeking support?
We understand that Sixth Form can be a challenging time and that opening up about something you are concerned about can be a big decision. We will always work with you as a young person.
Our staff will use our Supportive 6 approach:
- We will take the time to listen to your concerns – what matters to you, matters to us
- We will let you choose who to talk to and what you want to share
- We will support and empower you to make your own decisions
- We will be non-judgemental, proportionate and transparent in our responses
- We will respect your privacy and only share information that is necessary to keep you or others safe
- We will do our best to discuss the next steps with you and help you access appropriate and specialist support on your terms
In some circumstances, we have a legal responsibility to share information to keep you and other people safe. In all situations, your wellbeing and safety are our top priority.
Say Something
- At CRGS Sixth Form we want all students to feel safe and valued.
We believe that everyone should try to call out all forms of abuse, bullying, discrimination, harassment and unkindness: we should be allies to all parts of our school community.

"Students... talked positively about what leaders and teachers do to ensure that everyone is included and diversity is celebrated. They appreciate immensely the positive relationships that they have forged with teachers. As such, students feel safe."— Ofsted November 2022
