Academic and Emotional Support at College

We offer personalised support to help you succeed in your studies and feel confident during your time at college. Whether you're working towards a qualification, preparing for employment, or building skills for adult life, our support is designed around your individual needs.

Our Engagement Specialists, who are trained in Emotional Literacy Support (ELSA), provide tailored help across all campuses. This includes support with learning, emotional wellbeing, and building confidence in and outside of the classroom.

Support can include:

  • Help with assignments, study skills, and organisation
  • Techniques to support memory, recall, and understanding
  • Strategies to make abstract learning more concrete and accessible
  • One-to-one or small group sessions focused on your learning goals
  • Supporting you to develop your confidence in your communication skills
  • Emotional support through regular ELSA sessions in a safe, trusted space
  • Flexible contact via Teams when you need to reach out between sessions

We work closely with curriculum teams to make sure support fits around your course and helps you move forward. Whether you need help with managing anxiety, staying focused, or building confidence, we’re here to support you in a way that works for you.

Our aim is to make sure every student has someone they trust at college, someone who listens, understands, and supports them to build confidence, manage challenges, and develop the emotional resilience they need to thrive both in their studies and beyond.

One Message, Different Voices

Take a look at this powerful film made by the staff of Weston College to show how important it is for everyone from different backgrounds to be included. The film shares heartfelt stories and interviews with a diverse group of staff, showing how accepting different identities and backgrounds can make a big difference. Its purpose is to encourage viewers to think about their own biases and work towards making our community more welcoming to all. We invite everyone, regardless of their background, to join us and be a part of our journey toward a more inclusive future.

Halo workplace logo

Our workplace champions the right of staff to embrace all Afro-hairstyles. We acknowledge that Afro-textured hair is an important part of our Black employees’ racial, ethnic, cultural, and religious identities, and requires specific styling for hair health and maintenance. We celebrate Afro-textured hair worn in all styles including, but not limited to, afros, locs, twists, braids, cornrows, fades, hair straightened through the application of heat or chemicals, weaves, wigs, headscarves, and wraps. In this workplace, we recognise and celebrate our colleagues’ identities. We are a community built on an ethos of equality and respect where hair texture and style have no bearing on an employee's ability to succeed.
