Parents

At The Manchester College, we’re committed to working together with parents and carers to support all our students on their personal journey to amazing. We’ve put together this important information to give parents and carers like you everything you need to work alongside the college and to support your son/daughter to enjoy, achieve and thrive at college.

We recognise that along the way some of our students may experience challenges or need support. It is well known that when students, parents and carers work together our students will be more successful in their personal journey to amazing.

Below you’ll find guidance on ProPortal – our interactive online service for parents, information on study programmes, tutorials, attendance & punctuality, and advice on the extra support we can provide for your son or daughter.
