The work builds the record. The record runs the college.
Anchor sits on top of the systems you already run. The enquiry, the application, the attendance, the referral and the graduate destination become one story, not five disconnected rows.

One front door
Students ask once. Leaders ask anything.
The same record answers a student at 11pm and a Principal before the board meeting.
Can I drop down to part-time this term?
You can ask for that. One thing first: moving to part-time changes your Student Finance entitlement and your expected completion date.
Read from your record: course, funding, modules
A short interruption may suit you better. I can send both options to your Student Success Tutor.
Routed to Student SuccessEvery office behind one conversation
Students don't need to know whether a question belongs to Registry, Finance or Student Services. The record does the routing, and staff approve anything that matters.
Which courses are at risk of falling below the continuation threshold, and why?
Two courses: BA Business Management (Year 1) and the Foundation Year.
Business Year 1 is tracking 6 points down on last year, mostly students who stopped using the VLE after week 4. Foundation students who missed induction are three times as likely to withdraw.

Our mission
No struggling student should go unnoticed
Every withdrawal starts as a quiet signal: a missed seminar, a late submission, an email that never gets a reply. Our mission is to reach the student who is struggling before they slip away, and to give the people who support them the time to help.
01
Notice early
Spot the struggling student from signals across attendance, the VLE, submissions and wellbeing, weeks before they think about leaving.
02
Reach out fast
Agents prepare the outreach, so a tutor can act the same day rather than next week.
03
Stay with them
Every follow-up is tracked until the student is back on course, so nobody falls between offices.
Behind every continuation rate is a student who nearly didn't make it. Anchor is built for them.
