Case Studies
Newcastle College
Newcastle College is a prominent further and higher education institution in the United Kingdom, known for offering a broad range of vocational courses, apprenticeships, and degree programmes. Based in Newcastle upon Tyne, it serves a diverse student body with a strong focus on skills development, employability, and community engagement. As one of the UK’s largest colleges, Newcastle College plays a key role in preparing learners for careers across industries and supporting regional economic growth.
The Challenge
Like many institutions, Newcastle College was navigating challenges related to:
- Student wellbeing and mental health pressures
- Engagement and motivation during the academic year
- Supporting student persistence and retention
- Ensuring students were aware of and actively using existing support services
The institution was seeking a solution that would complement existing initiatives while providing students with a practical, everyday tool to support success.
The Approach
Semester Student Planner worked closely with the student affairs team and supporting functions across the institution to co-create a bespoke planner aligned with their student success strategy. The process included:
- In-depth consultation with student success and wellbeing teams
- Alignment with existing support services, resources, and institutional priorities
- Selection of coaching, wellbeing, and personal development frameworks relevant to their students
- Design iterations to ensure relevance, usability, and student engagement
The result was a planner designed not just to organize time, but to actively reinforce positive behaviors and help students take ownership of their growth.
