Progress Tutors
Dedicated to supporting you
Progress Tutors act as a first point of contact for students, delivering pastoral and academic support through one-to-one meetings and group tutorials, where students are able to reflect on their academic progress and gain an insight into their progression options after JLC.
When students embark on their JLC journey they will be assigned a Progress Tutor. Students can access their Progress Tutor at any point throughout the college week.
They also provide support with monitoring attendance and behaviour to instil independence and resilience within students. This enables them to be successful at college and prepares them for their next steps.
If you need to get in touch with one of our progress tutors, you can email them using the formula firstnamelastname@leggott.ac.uk
Learner Pathways
Supporting your future
Our Learner Pathways Team play a pivotal part in our learners journey, supporting from pre-enrolment to their chosen progression destination. If learners need advice on which courses to study at JLC, taking the next step into further or higher education, or searching for new job opportunities or an apprenticeship; the College’s specialist careers advisors are on hand to help.
The Learner Pathways Team work closely with a variety of local and national universities and employers to ensure learners have access to a wide range of opportunities and resources to support learners to achieve their future aspirations.
Every student has the opportunity to access direct careers and progression support - from pre-entry to on-programme advice and career plans to both UCAS and non-UCAS application support, giving learners the keys to unlock their future success and achieve their full potential.
Wellbeing
Dedicated to supporting you
All staff members at John Leggott College are committed to supporting students with their health and wellbeing. It is important that students are supported and happy whilst they are at college. Within college we have a dedicated wellbeing team who help to make sure that students are mentally, emotionally, and physically healthy. The team work closely with the students, teaching and pastoral staff to ensure that students are supported to deal with any problems they have.
Where appropriate the team will liaise with external agencies to ensure that we offer the right support and so that students get the best advice.
Students can access support from the wellbeing team at any point from enrolment to when they leave college. If you would like to discuss any wellbeing concerns then contact the team via reception, email or scan the QR codes in college.
