Student Life
Henry was awarded the Most Improved Student for his course for 2015. He has had support from his tutors in managing his phonological processing and specific learning difficulties. As his course is exam driven, he was introduced to assistive technology (Read & Write Gold) and revision techniques that enabled him to keep up with his coursework and revision, as well as being able to use it as an aid during exams. Henry has recently started using Dragon Naturally Speaking which allows him to dictate his notes as his poor fine motor skills affect his handwriting ability. Henry has valued the help he has received and plans to progress to Level 4 AAT Accounting.

Aimee has always had an interest in art and photography and was initially planning to study A Levels but due to personal circumstances the A Level route was not a viable option. After meeting with the photography tutor at the College, she found that the course here was more flexible and she felt supported in respect to her course work and her personal needs.
The College Marketing department were looking for a new style of visuals depicting the College buildings and provided Aimee with a brief to create images of the College in the style she had been working on as part of her photography project.
She created the final images by digitally manipulating photographs of the College buildings, and combining them together to make a series of eye-catching designs, one of which you can see as the cover image of this guide.
Aimee has a keen interest in documentary photography and plans to study Editorial Photography at university.

The Life Skills department promotes inclusion and personal development for students with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). We have a range of courses suited to all abilities which are particularly suitable for those who may not have had the opportunity to access a full range of GCSE or Functional Skills subjects in their previous schooling.
We recognise everyone has individual needs and abilities and we will work with you to meet the outcomes of your Education Health Care Plan (EHCP). We believe our students benefit from building on previous skills learnt to enable them to access the wider community which prepares them for the workplace and more independent living.
Students are placed on a course and depending on their prior attainment, often progress to a higher level over a two or three year period. Courses contain a variety of practical skills and academic subjects to ensure students are motivated to take on new challenges and ideas.
During an interview we will discuss your special needs and endeavour to meet them by providing appropriate specialist support and making reasonable adjustments where it is reasonably practical.
