Student Support

Our student and learning support departments are here to help you reach your full potential.

You'll find our wealth of experienced staff on campus plus our external network of support invaluable both while you're here and after your time at Plumpton College.

Your Health Is Important To us

We have a variety of services available for you, to keep you in great health. 

• If you're joining us as a residential student, you'll need to register with the local doctors' surgery. We're able to arrange priority appointments for you, and we'll make travel arrangements for you to get to the surgery for your appointments.
• We have a sexual health clinic that runs every Thursday 11am-2pm where you can access free and confidential advice. If you need help outside of these times, you can speak to Student Services.
• We have a zero tolerance towards drugs and will deal quickly and formally with anyone found involved with drugs. Our College is a 'no smoking' campus; however, we have designated areas for smokers. Our Student Services can connect you with various channels for stop-smoking guidance.

Counselling Is Always Available

At Plumpton College, we have an independent service available to our students when you need it. 

You can easily access our independent, confidential and free counselling service at Plumpton College. In partnership with The Link, it's a flexible service designed to give you lots of choices when it comes to advise and support.

We have five counsellors who have all been specially selected for their unique skills and background to meet the individual needs of all our students.

Student Wellbeing Is a Priority For Us

In the meantime, if you feel anxious or have any concerns, use our Whatsapp service to contact our Student Wellbeing and Safeguarding Team to get the support you need or to make an appointment.

Available Monday-Friday 9am-4pm on 07387 411834 or email safeguarding@plumpton.ac.uk.

The team are located in the main reception.

We're working with Action Your Potential

At Plumpton College we’re always striving hard to support all of our wonderful families in new and innovative ways, particularly in such complex times. That’s why we’ve joined forces with Andrew Wright and his company, Action Your Potential to provide all of us with support this year for our mental health, wellbeing and also helping our students get the most out of their learning.
