Support

Care Experienced Learners

At Oldham College, we recognise that some of our students have lived in foster care, residential care, or with extended family. We are committed to providing dedicated support, smooth transitions, and a nurturing environment where care experienced learners can thrive and achieve their goals.

We have a dedicated team to help provide all of the support you might require to enable you to enjoy college life, succeed and progress to the best of your ability.

Before you start with us, we can arrange visits to our campus and taster days to help you decide on the right course and to make sure that you feel comfortable and confident in the College community environment, whilst transitioning into post-16 education.

Transition Support

Our team will work closely with you and liaise with the relevant services you are working with to ensure you are receiving the appropriate support and guidance. We will attend all Personal Education Plan meetings, Child Looked After Reviews and Team Around the Child meetings to ensure a smooth transition. This will continue throughout your time here at the College.

The College can offer a wide range of support for Care Experienced students, along with a personal tutor, relevant links can be found on the right.
