Do you consider yourself to have a disability, learning difficulty, or health problem?
Knowing our learners needs before starting their studies can help us prepare the support and resources necessary to provide the best quality education. Delays or absence of important information and documents can be detrimental to learners that require support and can prevent them reaching their full potential. We rely on applicants informing us of any additional needs before they start as previous schools/colleges and local authorities do not pass this information on.
Have you had access arrangements put in place for exams, such as extra time, a reader, or use of computer to help you write your answers?
Do you have an EHCP?
