Our Support Teams

International
Officer

Our International Officer plays a crucial role in helping students from all over the world navigate their daily life and studies whilst enrolled at John Leggott College.

Ellis Coleman, our International Officer, works closely with International students to provide guidance and support as they adjust to life in a new environment. Ellis can help with everything from starting the application process, securing visas, finding the right accommodation and finally offering daily support during a student's JLC journey.

Students should feel not only valued and respected, but also supported in all aspects of their college experience.

Progress
Tutors

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.

The Aspire Programme

The Aspire programme supports students to succeed in their academic futures. We have two distinct routes, Aspire Oxbridge and Aspire MDV.

The Aspire Oxbridge programme sets out to support students considering applying to Oxford and Cambridge Universities.

This programme guides students through the application process and gives them the opportunity to develop academically and intellectually by exploring the subject far beyond the A Level syllabus. Oxford and Cambridge universities are amongst the best in the world, recruiting globally. This means there is considerable competition for places. We are proud to help our students consistently secure places at Oxford & Cambridge, with JLC students receiving offers at twice the national average rate!

The Aspire Medicine, Dentistry and Veterinary Science programme supports students applying to courses that will lead to careers in these professions. This programme guides students through the application process and gives them the opportunity to develop academically and as a professional practitioner by exploring their vocation both in the classroom and the workplace. Students have been successfully securing places at Medicine, Dentistry and Veterinary Schools with John Leggott College for over fifty years! Students can expect detailed individual guidance and support at each stage of the process, led by a specialist careers tutor with many years’ experience and academic input from specialists in the field.

Award Winning
Well-being

All staff members at John Leggott College are committed to supporting students with their health and well-being. It is important that students are supported and happy whilst they are at college. Within college we have a dedicated well-being 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 well-being 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.
