welcome

My role is to ensure that students are wellsupported and making excellent progress throughout their New College journey. I want to make sure that their tutorial programme is really valuable to them, that their Progress Tutors are able to provide them with outstanding personal support and guidance, and that their teachers are able to put effective support in place for them when it’s needed. I’m really excited about getting to know our next group of Year 12 students.

Helen Jackson, Vice Principal (Progress, Intervention and Support)

I’m responsible for our team of Progress Tutors in college, ensuring that students receive the best possible care, support and challenge. I am a member of the college’s safeguarding team and I play a role in the college’s intervention and support procedures, often assisting the Senior Leadership Team where there are more significant concerns around attendance, commitment or conduct.

Sally Small Lead Senior Progress Tutor

My role in college is to ensure that students’ wider experiences in college help to support their own personal development. I’m interested in making sure that their courses help to develop their employability skills and their readiness for university or employment, and that they have opportunities to enrich their learning in college. I also manage systems to track student attendance, which is an essential ingredient of success. Student feedback is important, and I am responsible for creating opportunities for them to share their views and comments about their experiences.

Scott Faulkner Assistant Principal (Student Experience & Personal Development)

Leaders and staff successfully support students to become highly respectful and active citizens. Students have an excellent understanding of British values such as mutual respect and tolerance, and endeavour to emulate these values. They are very respectful and courteous to each other, to staff and to visitors to the college. They feel safe at college and are confident that, if they have any concerns, these will be addressed quickly.

Proud Of Our People

What matters to us is that students work hard, grow as young adults and find rewards from their time and the opportunities at New College. Our students bring maturity and commitment, making a positive decision to move somewhere new after Year 11, taking a step into adulthood and independence.

Our students don’t wear uniforms, our college doesn’t have bells, and students use a teacher’s first name. This is because New College is in some ways like being at university, and we’re preparing students for university and work. We focus on the things that matter most in sixth form study – your academic standards, your progress, your attendance and work, your future.

Students come to New College from across the City of Doncaster and beyond. We’re proud that our students come from different schools and different walks of life. At New College Doncaster we enjoy the things we have in common but we celebrate our diversity and the unique identities and experiences that each of us bring. A move away from school to a sixth form colleges provides many students with the opportunity to express themselves in new ways, to create new friendship groups, and to meet people they might not have been able to meet at school.
