Lee GoddardAssistant Principal student SupportAs Assistant Principal Student Support, I am responsible for ensuring that students are happy and safe whilst at College. This includes all aspects of safeguarding, but also our pastoral care and support. The outstanding services we offer to students is at the heart of ensuring that they can excel academically and personally. Our team, which includes Student Welfare and our Mental Health Champion, works to ensure we tackle any barriers to student success. I am responsible for our Progress Tutor team and the tutorial programme which helps our young people to become rounded and resilient, and prepared for their next step to university or employment. I really enjoy working with students, and I am also a Progress Tutor. This is of course a great way to find out how we can further develop the support for students, and it is incredibly rewarding being able to work with them on an individual level to help them to achieve their ambitions. As a former PE teacher who is passionate about cricket, it is great to be able to be part of a warm and welcoming College community that is helping to educate some great sporting talent, including our Cricket Academy!
Kam RogersonAssistant Principal, Curriculum and Quality (Vocational) and Wider College ExperienceIt is my responsibility to ensure students have access to a high standard of vocational courses and we maintain our position as an award winning BTEC College where students enjoy a fantastic and inspirational learning experience. Within my wider student experience remit, I work closely with a large team to enhance students’ employability prospects by providing extensive and appropriate work experience and work shadowing opportunities, both in the UK and abroad. This includes working with our Careers team so that students have the best possible information and support. I have always enjoyed working at Huddersfield New College in the various roles that I have been fortunate to have. The students and staff are always very friendly and in my opinion we are the best Sixth Form College in Huddersfield!
