Learning Support

‘I came away feeling as though a weight had been lifted from my shoulders, everyone and everything seemed so positive’. (comment from the parent of a prospective student)

We are an inclusive college and are known for having a friendly and welcoming atmosphere and a very supportive staff. We were recognised in the most recent Ofsted inspection as providing, ‘Exceptional academic and personal support’ and ‘Outstanding support for learners with complex learning needs’.Ofsted Website.

Additional Support at college is flexible.

‘I am so pleased that ….. came to New College because of the quality of the support he received. It was the best thing that could have happened, for him’ (comment from a the parent of a student who has achieved very well and gone on to university)

As soon as your son or daughter has applied and accepted a place, we work with you to discuss what will help your son/daughter to achieve. You will receive a Needs Assessment Form, where you suggest a package of support to suit your son/daughter’s needs.

There are opportunities to discuss any support needs at Open Evenings, informal visits, the interview and enrolment. We have an ‘open door’ policy and you can simply call the college and ask for The Study Centre, at any time from the point of application.
