Welcome

 

Welcome to Nottingham Tutorial College. Our provision is a happy and welcoming place attended by children from within the city who have been either excluded from mainstream education or who need an alternative learning environment. With our dedicated and experienced teachers and support staff we are able to offer a bespoke system that caters for all our individual students’ needs. Our aim is to engage our students to give them the best possible opportunities to reintegrate back into a mainstream education or vocational setting. We take a holistic approach and encourage our students to develop both academically and personally to prepare them for adult life ensuring they are employable, confident young adults ready to grow independently in the future.

We hope that you find our website both interesting and informative. If you have any further questions or would like to come and visit our provision please contact us; you are guaranteed a warm welcome.

Our Mission

 

Nottingham Tutorial College’s mission is to provide a true alternative to mainstream education. We understand that our students have been referred to us for a variety of reasons; because of this we know that with learning one size doesn’t fit all. We take the time to get to know our students and work with them to develop unique timetables so that we can break down their barriers to learning and support them in their development.

We are all on a learning journey. We all make this journey at different speeds and along different paths. We all start this journey as dependent learners relying on others for our learning. To become successful in life we need to move on from being a dependent learner. This process can only happen if we have the self-esteem and the confidence in ourselves to risk learning new skills. If we have this self identity we can then learn and acquire the skills of being an independent learner. It is this identity that we work to instill into our students, teaching them to become responsible for their own learning and decision making.

 

‘Stay positive, work hard, make it happen’
