Parents

Learn how parents and carers can support their young person.

We're Ofsted Good

Lincoln, Newark and the Air & Space Institute is graded as Ofsted Good.

Inspectors said the College was meeting the needs of local employers, learners and the wider community, with students progressing to positive career destinations.

Also the industry expertise of teachers motivated students to make good progress and develop the skills they need in the workplace.

The three campuses were assessed by a team of inspectors in January 2024.

The inspection report described the Group’s colleges as follows:

· “Leaders demonstrate a detailed understanding of local and regional skills needs. They use this knowledge very effectively to identify priority skills areas and to inform strategic and curriculum planning.”

· “Students learn from skilled teachers and access high-quality learning settings.”

· “Apprentices demonstrate positive attitudes to their studies and work. They perform well in their jobs and are valued by their employers.”

· “Leaders and staff create a welcoming and inclusive college environment.”

· “Adults value highly the impact that their courses have on their career prospects and personal lives.”

· “Students and apprentices can access a range of facilities and guidance about their mental and physical well-being.”

· “Students, apprentices and students with high needs feel safe at college and work.”

How and why we engage with you

We engage with parents/carers of young people who are 18 and under.

For those turning 18, this includes the whole academic year following a learner’s 18th birthday.

If your young person has an Education and Health Care Plan we involve parents/carers in all meetings and discussions regarding their education up to and including the age of 24.

Parents Evenings are held in January/February each year.

Here are our commitments to parent/carer engagement:

  • We will send you a report on your young person’s progress prior to Parents Evening
  • We alert you by text when your young person is not attending their lessons at College
  • Where a learner is not attending College or there are other barriers to learning, we will contact you so we can work together to support your young person
  • Each learner has a Progress Coach. You can contact your young person’s Progress Coach if you would like to discuss any aspect of their study programme
  • The Lincoln College Designated Teacher for Looked After Children and Care Leavers is Donna Stallard- Taylor (Safeguarding Team).
  • Your young person’s Designated Teacher liaises closely with subject tutors to provide a supportive environment whilst coordinating access to pastoral and additional learning support.
Our expectations
  • Students must wear their lanyard and student ID card at all times
  •  Students must accept responsibility for their own learning
  • Students must attend all classes and be punctual
  • Students must arrive prepared to study
  • Students must complete all work on time and to the best of their ability
How you can support your young person

Parents/carers can support their young person in a variety of ways:

  • Spend time with your young person to review their timetable and assist with planning. This helps to ensure learners attend all of their scheduled classes. Attendance is key to a learner’s success; 100% attendance is expected of all our learners
  • Assist with transport arrangements to and from College, ensuring that enough time is allowed to arrive at College before their first timetabled lesson
  • Check your young person has everything they need for their studies. It’s a good idea to encourage your young person to pack their bag the night before. This might include any uniform, equipment, stationery items and/or homework
  • Provide encouragement to enable your young person to manage their time effectively ensuring a healthy balance between study and recreation
  • Attend Parents Evenings to speak with your young person’s tutors
  • If your young person has a special educational need or disability and requires support at College, we have a dedicated Assessment and Support Team. The Assessment Coordinators work closely with subject tutors to help provide the appropriate support and advice, ensuring your young person is successful with their educational journey. Please ensure that your young person engages with the Assessment and Support Team. Just ask at Reception to make an appointment or email assessmentofficer@lincolncollege.ac.uk
  • Remember to keep us informed of any changes to your contact details. Your young person can email the Digital Engagement Team
  • Contact us if you have any concerns about your young person’s progress
  • For more information, view our Parent/ Carer Handbook

Track your young person's progress

You can monitor your young person’s attendance and progress through their electronic Individual Learning Portfolio (eILP).

Once your young person has enrolled, you can request a login to access the Parent view of the eILP (ProPortal).

Visit this website and click Submit an Account Request. You will then be directed to a new page to create a login and also confirm details of your young person.

You will be sent an email with your login details once your account has been verified.
