Our aim is to provide you with the highest standard of academic and pastoral support to guide you on your path beyond college.Our college is separate from the main school with its own classrooms and student areas. Class sizes are small and this means you will get the individual time and attention you need from subject teachers. We have a large sixth form leadership team whose aim is to guide you through your time with us and offer advice and intervention when necessary.Our courses are varied and we provide a range of enrichment opportunities to ensure our students are well developed learners with a real interest in the subjects they study. We have specialist tutors who you will see daily and will ensure you settle in quickly and get the most out of your time with us.Our community is varied and we have students from a wide range of schools and backgrounds. Our tutorial programme ensures we discuss issues that matter to you and the world beyond Turton. Additionally, our vibrant student council ensures there is always lots going on. This includes social, sporting and fundraising activities to give you opportunities to get involved and make new friends.My aim is to ensure you are challenged, supported and successful, and I believe Turton is the place to make that happen.Mrs. K.
