EXTRA SUPPORT IF YOU NEED IT

When you attend the College, you’ll have an initial assessment which will help us understand what your levels of reading and maths are. You will also carry out a short assessment, to find out how you learn best and whether we can help with any additional support you may require. If the assessments suggest you’d benefit from extra help, you will be invited to a further assessment.
