Discretionary Bursary

This is a type of financial support provided by us to assist with your child’s education. Each child is entitled to £15 per week. This is based on any Government support the family home is given. All students at Haringey Sixth are encouraged to complete the form (Student Services will support) with the correct documentation and a current bank statement.

Vulnerable Bursaries

Any child that is either in foster care, receiving PIP (Personal Independence Payment), living semi-independently, or claiming Universal Credit are eligible to apply for this bursary. This is a payment of £1200 spread over 3 terms.

Please speak to the DSL (Designated Safeguarding Lead) for more information and support in applying.

We recognise our responsibility to promote equality in education for all of our learners. We have excellent facilities and specialist help, not only for students within our Entry & Foundation faculty, but also for those studying within our cross-college departments.

The support team can provide; 

• Help with English, Maths and learning difficulties
• Special equipment to assist you with your studies
• BSL signers and communicators
• Help with personal care and health issues
• In-class and out-of-class support
• One-to-one support

All of our full-time students are allocated a Personal Tutor from their first day at college. Tutors meet with students individually throughout the year and can hellp in a variety of ways by:

• Being a point of contact for any concerns
• Keeping students on track for their personal progression
• Referring students to other specialist support, if needed.
• Ensuring parents are kept up to date of their child's progress

We have professionally trained student counsellors who are able to offer confidential and non-judgemental advice on a range of matters. Students can request to see a counsellor themselves by speaking to their personal tutor. Sessions are held on-site in a private room.

Career resources are available for all learners and work experience is linked to their courses of study. Opportunities include contact with employers and industry professionals. Each curriculum area runs work experience programmes such as voluntary work experience in industry, internal skills building sessions and online projects. In PPD you will be given careers, apprenticeship, UCAS and university advice and support. Learners are also able to access resources from the Careersand Futures Advisors during drop in or booked sessions in the Innovation Centre.
