Parent/Carer Hub

Welcome to the Parent/Carer Hub.

At HSDC, we understand that supporting your child as they move from school to college can be a challenge and we want to help make this process as smooth as possible for everyone
involved. We believe that a close partnership between us and our students’ parents/carers can have a very positive effect on the students’ overall performance at College. Here you’ll find some information that might be helpful to you, either as a parent/carer with a child already studying at HSDC or with a child considering applying here.

I would say it’s a college that really balances academia with fun, there is lots of extra-curricular stuff that you can get involved in. It has a really good work/life balance.

Laura Hagedorn, A Level student

My courses were all especially interesting, I thoroughly enjoyed all of them. All of my lecturers were extremely knowledgeable and I have learnt a lot from them.

Lottie Warren, A Level student

My time at the college was definitely life changing, I have learnt a lot of new skills, and obviously it’s a completely new experience. The support was great, there was always people there to help and try make it as easy as they can for you. The college is really fantastic, it has helped me on the way to get to what I want to achieve within my career goals.
