Support for students with additional learning needs

We can provide support for students with additional learning needs as clearly identified by a Statement of Special Educational Needs/Learning Difficulty Assessment or Education, Health and Care Plan.  If you do not have a learning difficulty or disability you can speak to your subject tutor or Student Support Tutor (SST).

If a prospective student has significant or complex needs that may require additional staffing or resources then the application will be forwarded to the local authority for their consideration.

The college offers a curriculum ranging from Entry Level 1 to Higher Education level. Currently there is no curriculum provision for profound and multiple learning difficulties.

Learners will be assessed on an individual basis.

  • Ticking the relevant boxes on your application form.
