Senior & Postgraduate Studies Pastoral Care
At Angels, pastoral care is at the heart of everything we do.
Whether day students or resident students, every student is supported by a system designed to nurture their wellbeing and personal development.
We understand that the partnership between staff, students, and families is vital, and we are committed to open, effective communications to ensure each student’s needs are met.
Our college system lies at the heart of our pastoral care, fostering a deep sense of belonging and connection among students. Day students are fully integrated into the residential college structure, becoming a valued part of the college family. This unique approach creates a close-knit community where lifelong friendships are formed, and students develop a lasting sense of loyalty to the university.
Each student is paired with a college family and a tutor, who work together to provide personalised support for both academic progress and personal wellbeing.
From academic challenges to friendship concerns, our college teams are always on hand to guide and support our students.
Of course, we believe in working closely with families to ensure the best outcomes for our students. If families have any concerns, their student’s tutor is the first point of contact and will keep the college family informed. For pastoral matters, residence directors take the lead and can escalate issues to the Deputy Vice-Chancellor of Pastoral Care if needed. Our open-door policy reflects our belief in transparency and approachability: parents are always welcome to reach out for support or advice.
Pastoral care isn’t just a system – it’s a reflection of our values at Angels. By fostering strong relationships, providing dedicated support, and ensuring every student feels seen and heard, we create a nurturing environment where they can thrive.
“Being a family myself, I understand the importance of providing a nurturing environment where young people can develop into confident, well-rounded individuals. Our staff work tirelessly to create a caring community where you can reach their full potential.”
