Support for Sixth Form Students

Your Welfare

How can we help?

This is where you can find information about all of the support that exists to help students in Childwall Sixth Form; you can also find key policies on attendance, behaviour, dress code and bursary here. If you do need to talk to someone, it can be about anything - big or small, remember we have an open door policy in Post 16 - come and see us!
