As we begin a new academic year at Milton Keynes College, we extend a warm welcome to both new and returning families. Our goal is simple: we want every student to have an enjoyable and successful year, and your support at home is essential to achieving this. 

Our Approach 

At Milton Keynes College, we’re about more than just getting qualifications. Our study programmes are designed to give students the skills and experience they need for the real world. This means getting involved in work experience, personal development, and other activities to ensure they are fully ready for their next steps. 

Upcoming Events 

Student Inductions: The week commencing 8^th September, most students will attend college to receive timetables, ID badges, and meet their peers. During this day, their course team leader will detail our expectations for the year. We encourage you to discuss these expectations with your child. 

Parent Information Event: We are hosting parent information events in the commencing 22^nd September. Each school will send out invitations to parents. These events will cover what we expect from students and our goals for this year. 

Student Expectations 

To make the most of their time at Milton Keynes College, we expect students to: 

• Keep a Positive and Professional Attitude: This contributes to a productive learning environment. 

• Aim for 100% Attendance: Attending regularly is crucial for their progress. 

• Engage in Work Experience: This is key to gaining practical experience and skills. 

• Commit to English and Maths: These core subjects are important, and we encourage students to give their best effort if they are studying these with us. 

• Be On Time: Arriving on time helps start the day right. 

• Meet Deadlines: Completing assignments on time is essential for managing their workload and succeeding academically. 

• Accept Feedback: Constructive feedback helps with personal and academic growth. 

• Respect and Zero Tolerance on Bullying: We are committed to a respectful environment and have a zero-tolerance policy on bullying. 

Partnership for Success 

Your involvement is essential to helping students reach their full potential. If you have any questions or need more information, just reach out. 

We are looking forward to working together for a successful year!
