Sensory Impairments

Learners with sensory impairments are encouraged to inform us early on in the admission process so we are able to build in any support required for a smooth transition. We ensure that:

• Independence is respected and encouraged in all aspects of college life
• We support learners in accessing opportunities across college such as trips, enrichment activities and participation in PAWS week.
• There is effective transition in place, both from school to college and from college into higher education/apprenticeships or employment
• We offer a transition morning and individual visits to the college to familiarise learners with the college environment and discuss support needs
• We Liaise and collaborate with external agencies
• Reasonable adjustments are in place to support a learner’s individual needs
• We work across college with personal tutors and teaching staff, to develop specific classroom strategies
• Where necessary, Exam Access Arrangements are in place
• Assistive technology is in place, where appropriate
• Adapted resources are available
• Where necessary, specialist provision support is provided.
