Student Support

Forge Valley Sixth Form is an environment where you are equipped to achieve your personal goals.

We will support and guide you, both academically and pastorally, in building your confidence and to develop as an individual. As well as the informal support and guidance that happens on a day-to-day basis, all students attend regular assemblies, weekly tutorial periods and daily regulation activities that seek to enable you to make wise decisions, discuss career plans, assess your own progress and seek help if problems arise.
