Kendal college supports all students to achieve their highest potential. Sometimes, students with additional learning needs (e.g. Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, autism and a range of other disabilities) may need some extra support to access their education.
We offer each student support that is tailored to need, in line with reasonable adjustments.
Examples of support:
• In-class support when required
• Help with writing, spelling and reading at all levels. The use of enabling technologies, such as software to scan and read back text on a computer.
• Advice on planning and structuring essays and assignments and managing your time.
• Developing confidence to study at a higher level. Adaptation of learning materials.
• Assessment for exam access arrangements
Wellbeing
We also have a wellbeing service for students who feel they need support with any of the following:
- Difficulties around mental health/ emotional distress that is affecting everyday functioning
- Issues around being a young carer
- Issues around relationships with family or friends
- Drug/alcohol/substance abuse (including steroids)
- Sex and relationships
- Support to access services if you feel you are not being heard
- difficulties accessing the right services to offer support.
- being a child/young person who is ‘looked after’ or a ‘care leaver’.
