Extra help to study
If you receive extra funding or support in school this should continue when you go into the sixth form. Your school and Children's Services in the local authority where you live, will be responsible for giving you this support.
If you need to know more, talk to the Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCO) in your school.
If you are going to a new school, talk to the head of sixth form.
Moving to College
If you receive extra support in school, you should still get support when you go to college. Talk to the admissions tutor and the learning support tutor about your needs.
Your Connexions adviser can help by doing an assessment of your support needs to give to the college.
Extra help available could include:
- Help with personal care
- Teaching in small groups
- Special equipment
- A support teacher or worker to help with parts of your course or college life
- Help with writing and maths
- Help about how best to learn and study
- Help with travel arrangements
Specialist College
There are some colleges which specialise in courses for people with particular learning difficulties and disabilities. This option is only for young people whose needs cannot be met at local schools or colleges. You will need to plan ahead as the application process take much longer.
