Additional Learning Support
The Assessment and Support Team are on hand to support learners with Special Educational Needs and/or Disability. They offer various forms of support, both in and out of the classroom. They can meet you to find out what type of support you would benefit from which could include:
- Specialist Equipment, e.g., Dictaphone, lumbar supports, coloured overlays, reading pens
- Access Arrangements for your exams, e.g., extra time, separate room, reader, scribe
- Out of class support to help you with your studies and for pastoral support
- Strategies to support you in the class, such as extra time
Once they have met with you and agreed a plan, they will liaise with your teachers to ensure they know how to support to you.
The College also has a Transitions Officer to help students with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) when starting their course. The Transitions Officer can provide bespoke tours, introductions to tutors and support with interviews.
