Additional Learning Support

Help with English or Maths

We have links with agencies that provide specialist support in a variety of areas. For example, you are entitled to an initial assessment to find whether extra help with English or Maths might be of benefit. So if you are worried about anything and not sure who to ask or what to do, just contact us.

Students with learning difficulties or disabilities

Our equal opportunities policy commits us to providing the widest possible access to learning for all our students. We are positive about disability, and students with dyslexia, hearing and sight problems have access to specialist equipment and software with help from our learning support specialists. We can also help with classroom support and personal care requirements. Wheelchair users have good access on most of our sites. Disabled Toilets and dedicated parking spaces are also available.
