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 have an informal meeting with their tutor every morning, for an overview of progress and 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 Academic Director meets each student on a more formal basis every week. These meetings have a two-part focus: firstly, to discuss academic matters and secondly, to explore well-being and other aspects of our pastoral care programme.

Outside of this, our entire KCO team is always on hand to listen and to offer support, no matter what the issue may be. No question is too small – once it has been asked, our team will support you in finding a solution.
