Safeguarding and Wellbeing

At Orbital South Colleges, we are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and to ensure that action is taken to support our learners.

Parents and carers can find information, guidance, and useful resources on safeguarding, mental health, and student wellbeing by visiting our dedicated Safeguarding and Wellbeing pages for East Surrey College and John Ruskin College.

Making the right choice

As a parent or carer, supporting your child at this crucial time will help them to make decisions for their future career path. Your child has a range of education options after year 11, whether they choose to stay at school, go to college or start an apprenticeship.

This section of the website has information to help you understand how we work with parents and carers to ensure that your child will benefit from their time with us.

We like to work in partnership with you and will keep you informed of your child’s progress through regular reports and parents’ evenings, and we will also contact you if we have any concerns about their progress or attendance.
