For urgent concerns contact the College Reception by phone on 0191 33 43358.

If you would prefer to speak to someone in person, the Assistant Principals, Jeanna and Charlie, along with the Vice Principal, Victoria, can be found in Main College on the first floor.

For less urgent concerns and when you feel it would be helpful to talk to a fellow student about an issue of concern, you can contact the student-led JCR Wellbeing Team. They hold regular drop-ins in College on Wednesdays and Sundays 1 – 2 pm in the JCR Wellbeing Office (Main College, first floor).
