AND SAFETY

FEEL SUPPORTED, 
FEEL INCLUDED,
FEEL AT HOME

Student welfare is a top priority at St Clare’s. 

We provide a safe and supportive environment where you can live and study with confidence. Our support services are available 24/7 for any medical or welfare needs.

You are cared for by a dedicated team including House Parents and a Welfare team, who provide 24-hour supervision and guidance. In addition, a daily evening curfew and secure residential houses help maintain a safe and welcoming community.

To promote wellbeing, students have access to our college Nurse for medical support and advice.

This high staff-to-student ratio ensures that you feel safe, supported and well looked after throughout your stay. We are committed to creating a friendly atmosphere where students feel comfortable, supported, and able to thrive during their time with us.
