Whether a student is new to NSG or coming into the Sixth Form from Year 11, the challenges and increased autonomy of life in the Sixth Form marks an exciting new start for everyone. 

At NSG6 we strongly believe in a personalised approach to supporting our students. There are many people who play a role in this including:

• Tutor/s who they see on a daily basis
• Subject based mentoring
• Mrs Green (Director of Sixth Form)
• Mrs Loughney and Mr Wynn (Heads of Year)
• Claire (Sixth Form Learning Mentor) and Mrs Kopecky (Sixth Form Librarian) who are available throughout the day
• Students can also speak to Bev and Val in Sixth Form Student Services if they have any issues and concerns

Student services are also there to help students with any day-to-day issues, whether it be bus tickets, difficulty integrating or struggling to cope with the home/study balance. At NSG6 we are fully aware of the pressures that sixth form students face so if a student needs support in any way there are several options that can be accessed including The Lowdown, an external counselling agency who provide in-school one-to-one support for our students on a weekly basis.

There are also a large number of websites that provide help and support for specific health or wellbeing concerns.
