Welcome Parents

Information for parents and carers – supporting you and your young person

Starting college is an exciting time in a young person’s life and we are here to support our students and their parents/carers as they make their transition.

From different careers programmes to funding and financial support, this dedicated parents and carers section of the website will provide you with the information and resources needed to ensure you are well informed throughout your child’s journey at Trafford and Stockport College Group.

There are also lots of opportunities outside of the classroom to ensure your child receives the best possible student experience. This helps to develop a range of skills and supports the college values of being ambitious, resilient, collaborative, inclusive and respectful.

We are looking forward to supporting you and your child as we work towards unlocking potential and fostering success.
