Is a SEND pathway for you? Here are some insights to help you decide.
SEND: Special Educational Needs and Disabilities.
You have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP). This plan, provided by the local council, outlines the additional support you need. Our dedicated teams will ensure this support is in place throughout your course.
You’re aged 16–24 and have an EHCP. You can apply for our SEND courses (see below) or for other 16–18 courses we offer. We look at each application individually to make sure you are placed on the course and pathway that best match your goals.
You are willing to take on work opportunities to experience work life. You will have the opportunity to go on educational trips, attend talks, and visit employers with opportunities to learn about work life.
You want the best possible education journey. Your individual needs and goals are at the heart of our programme. We offer personalised support and clear progression pathways that recognise and celebrate you, for your unique strengths and aspirations.

Support for Students with Additional Needs
Our SEND Department offers specialist learning support for students with additional needs, including specific learning difficulties (such as dyslexia), sensory impairments, and physical disabilities.
If you have an Education, Health, and Care Plan (EHCP), our SEND Learning Support Team will work closely with you to provide tailored assistance aligned with your plan.
