Post 16 Learning Manager

I am dedicated to Post 16, having worked with year 12 and 13 students at Hemsworth for over 13 years.

My wealth of knowledge and experience enables me to offer you the support and guidance you need at this crucial time in your education.

Moving from lower school to Post 16 is an exciting time. Life is fast moving and challenging, and I am very keen to take great care to ensure that all students who join Outwood Academy Post 16 have the individual support they need.

We have bespoke study area called The Achievement Centre which is located in the Post 16 Building, which students can access out of your normal lesson time to support your academic development, with a quiet study area, Computers, Careers Library and Printer, unlike most Post 16 Centres we do not charge students for printing.

As your Learning Manager I am available throughout the day with an open door policy to assist you with your work in a supportive manner and also challenge you to stretch yourself to achieve an even higher grade.

Level 3 trained Safeguarding, being part of the Safeguarding team, is a role I take seriously and compassionately.

Mrs Perry

A student’s time in Post 16 can be extremely demanding and students need someone to help in supporting, guiding and tracking their progress.

At the Post 16 Centre Yr12 & 13 have a dedicated ‘Learning Manager’. This is a non-teaching member of staff who is completely dedicated to the pastoral care and well-being of students in Post 16.

The Learning manager acts as the first port of call for both parents/carers and students regarding progress, attainment and behaviour.

In addition to monitoring student progress and well-being in lessons, the Learning Management will analyse student progress data six times each year to assess whether students are on track.

They also work very closely with all teaching staff to help provide effective and swift intervention to get students back on track as soon as possible.

Learning Support

All teaching and support staff at Outwood Academy Hemsworth are trained in supporting learners with additional learning needs and we have specialist leaders who have expertise in supporting students with: autistic spectrum disorders, visual impairment, hearing impairments, dyslexia, dyspraxia, ADHD, mobility difficulties and other learning difficulties. Support for students can be in the form of one to-one support in and out of the classroom, adjustments by teaching staff and appropriate technologies to enhance learning. Please can we ask that any additional needs of students are declared at the start of the course so that the Academy can fulfil its responsibilities in making any adjustments needed.
