We serve students taking A Levels or IGCSEs for the first time or retaking A Levels, focusing on student-driven progress.

Wellbeing

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

Greene's College Oxford supports academic welfare through its Personal Tutor system, with weekly mentoring and guidance on welfare as part of the student journey. Personal Tutors address welfare concerns and help students manage workload, motivation, and personal challenges, connecting them with appropriate support when needed. The Welfare section lists local mental health resources around Oxford, including Oxfordshire Mind and related services, with information and contacts provided. Students are encouraged to discuss welfare issues with their Personal Tutor, who can guide them to local services or professionals as required. The handbook also references self-help resources and counselling guidance to support mental health and wellbeing.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)

Greene's provides Examination Access Arrangements (EAAs) for students with a special educational need or disability that places them at a substantial disadvantage in exams, in line with JCQ rules. Examples include extra time, supervised rest breaks, assistive technology, and sitting exams in a private room. Applicants must provide appropriate evidence, such as documentation, diagnostic reports, or a current EHCP, to the college SENCO for review. Access arrangements are not automatic; each application is considered on its own merits, and the Examinations Office must be informed. There is a fee for each access arrangement application, payable at the time of examination entry.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)

Greene's provides dedicated support for international students to develop English language skills essential for academic success. The college offers English as a Foreign Language (EFL) and IELTS courses to help students achieve the proficiency required for future A-level study and university applications. These courses are taught using the same tutorial method as the rest of Greene's programmes. English Language study is available within the GCSE pathway (with English as a Second Language for international students) and across other routes to support progression. The EAL provision is designed to support international students' progression to higher levels of study.

Mental Wellbeing

Academic study can be demanding, and the Welfare section notes that Personal Tutors address mental health and welfare concerns as part of academic support. Personal Tutors are not healthcare professionals but can discuss concerns and guide students to appropriate services. Local resources around Oxford provide mental health support, including Oxfordshire Mind and related services, with ongoing information and helplines. The handbook directs students to GPs and counselling options, and provides links to national resources and self-help leaflets. The college emphasises a culture of speaking openly about welfare with tutors and seeking help when needed.

Safeguarding

The safeguarding policy was adopted in August 2025 and is due for review in August 2026. The Designated Safeguarding Lead is responsible for implementing the policy, with the Governing Body, especially the Governor for Safeguarding, ensuring annual review. All staff receive safeguarding and child protection training at least every three years, with updates as required. The college follows inter-policy matters and multi‑agency procedures, including reporting concerns to the Oxfordshire Multi-agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH) and involving OSCP where appropriate, with the Designated Safeguarding Lead attending relevant case conferences. Records of safeguarding concerns are kept securely and access to information is on a need‑to‑know basis; the policy also covers safeguarding in online settings and other areas such as online safety and extremism prevention.
