Pastoral Care

At the heart of the KCO offering is support for each individual. KCO is a small, vibrant and friendly community, in which our students are encouraged to share their triumphs and their concerns.

We aim to communicate fully and effectively with students from the very start of their journey with KCO, and believe that this community of like-minded fellow students and highly engaged teachers is the best place for each person to thrive.

All students are part of a tutor group,, which meets every morning for a period of quiet reflection and mindfulness to prepare themselves for the day ahead. Their tutor will also act as a coach to support and challenge them through their time at the college.

Our visiting Well-being professional will be available to students for individual meetings and discussion face to face during the week, as well as offering online support at other times. The Academic Administrator is also part of the well-being team, and is always happy to offer support and a friendly word or two.

The Academic Director, who takes the lead on Pastoral care, and Director are also available for discussion about any matters, pastoral, academic and practical. The SEND Co-ordinator assists the Academic Director in supporting students with SEND needs.

No question is too small – once it has been asked, our team will support you in finding a solution.
