We may arrange a support review as a follow up to your interview, talk to your school about support you have received to date, and to your local authority about funding arrangements. We may also talk to your Social Worker, Key Worker, any health professionals you regularly engage with and parents/carers.
We will endeavour to provide appropriate support for you, with needs assessed on an individual basis.
The type of support we can offer may include:
A learning support worker to provide in class 1 to 1 or group support
A daily ‘triage’ drop in for pastoral care or learning support
Support in your English and maths lessons
Further assessments for Exam Access Arrangements
We can create individual support packages for higher-needs learners in consultation with your Local Authority. This will be based on any existing documentation, such as an Educational Health and Care Plan.
Once on the course, you will have a series of one-to-one tutorials which will support your progress, feeding into an Individual Learning Plan (ILP).
Midway through you will have a key Progress Tutorial and at the end you will attend a Next Steps Meeting to discuss your progression.
