Our SEND Students
Our SEND Students
We have a dedicated team of specialist staff who will work with you to identify, assess and address individual learning needs and arrange appropriate support sessions for those with specific learning difficulties, physical difficulties or sensory impairments.
A high level of expertise exists in the Study Support team to support high needs learners. We work closely with subject teachers and tutors so that we know how you are progressing and how we can support you more effectively. We also work with the Prospect Trust Careers Services team to ensure that our students with SEND have high aspirations, and progress to positive destinations.
For students with anxiety or ASC, we offer a meeting prior to starting to help familiarise them with the College site. Once they have started, we offer timetabled one-to-one support with a named member of staff. This would give them a familiar face to see regularly and they would be able to ‘drop in’ when needed.
Our EHCP Students
Our EHCP Students
If you have an EHCP or are in the process of applying for one, we would hope by now that you have spoken to our Study Support team. This is so we can discuss individual needs and ensure we can meet the requirements set out in the EHCP effectively.
It is important to note that we do not have specialist resource provision such as Speech and Language Therapists or Occupational Therapists on site, though we do work closely with the Specialist Teacher Advisory Services and we have experienced Learning Mentors. We also offer ELSA and TALA sessions that support students with emotion management skills and provide a safe, therapeutic space.
Support in lessons is only provided in exceptional circumstances, such as if a student has an EHCP and physical needs. Support at college usually takes place in a student’s study period when they come for one-to-one support in the Study Support area with their Learning Mentor.

Any student can come and see us in Study Support for study skills help. These are 30 minute sessions which cover all general study skills such as time management, organisation, revision techniques, essay writing and exam techniques. Students can book these sessions themselves via Cristalweb.
Each week we send out a Study Support Bulletin to the students in the weekly College News, containing a video focussed on topics including study tips, preparing for exams, time management, neurodiversity or mental health:
