Supported Learning at City College Norwich

Curriculum City College Norwich caters for those students who have learning difficulties, disabilities or who have not engaged well with formal education and are “starting out” again. For many students, coming to college will be a huge step – a step from childhood to adulthood – and this will involve many changes, new freedoms and, with that, new responsibilities. It will mean students making more decisions for themselves and gaining greater independence in their learning. Progression is a fundamental aim within the school. Within the Supported Learning curriculum we offer bespoke, small group provision, with a team of dedicated staff who deliver on it. We recognise the challenges our students face and endeavour to put the right levels of encouragement and support to meet the individual needs of our students. Students will find high quality resources and facilities to support them as they enter the world of adulthood, further learning and employment. These include workshop areas where they can practice art, craft, dance, drama and sport. We have an industry scale greenhouse, a shop that serves the needs of the college community and a professional kitchen. Alongside these we have well-equipped classrooms for developing English, Maths and personal & social skills.

8

For students with profound and multiple learning difficulties (PMLD) we have brand new facilities equipped with resources and materials designed for their needs. These include sensory areas, therapeutic exercise facilities, personal care suites and an independent living skills development area. College is about working hard and progressing and staff attempt to encourage and inspire all students to become valuable members of society and, potentially, the workforce. However, it is also recognised that coming to college is about making friends and developing a good social life. We have an excellent Tutorial Support team who can offer friendly guidance and advice in the area of person and social skills.

Courses available for 2016/17 are: • PMLD • LINKs • Progressions • Transitions • Creative Pathways • Vocational Pathways • General Enterprise • Retail Enterprise • Horticulture Enterprise • Hospitality Enterprise • Care Enterprise • Phoenix Purple • Supported Internships • Project SEARCH If Supported Learning is for you, pick up our prospectus from our Advice Shop on campus or via our website www.ccn.ac.uk

Support

City College Norwich is passionate about supporting students with Learning Disabilities and/or Difficulties. The Supported Learning team is responsible for ensuring that effective and appropriate support provision is allocated to students requiring assistance with accessing their academic studies. How do students get support?

Supported Learning aims to support each students to reach their full potential and achieve their goals. We strive to support each student to become an independent learner and adapt the support they need as part of their learning progresses.

Support on application

A student should disclose their disability or difficulty to help us know where to place support.

Is their difficulty is dyslexia, dyscalculia or Mears Irlen?

They can make an appointment with our SpLD (Specific Learning Difference) team once their course has started. They can do this at any reception desk or at the Advice Shop on the main site. The SpLD team can assess the student for exam concessions, which might give them extra time in exams or have a reader or scribe present in their exam.

Support through their tutor

If you would like more information about support or don’t want support please let us know.

If you don’t tell us that you might need support upon application to the college, a tutor can contact us on your behalf and arrange a meeting to discuss your support needs.

Types of support

Apprenticeship support

• In class support can be one to one, where a member of Supported Learning is with the student on an individual basis • Shared support where we support the student and others in the class • Discreet support where the student might not want everyone to know and our support staff can help them without it being obvious • Off course support to help with each students work, supporting them at lunch time or taking them to a taxi etc.

If a student has a Statement / LDA or EHCP

We will already be aware of their support needs before they come to college and we will contact them to get the right kind of support to meet their needs. However, if they do not want support they can tell us at any point.

You can talk to your assessor about support needs and we can assess in the workplace or at college to help with exam concessions.

Disabled Students Allowance (DSA)

The DSA is a non means-tested grant for disabled Higher Education learners. Its purpose is to pay for extra costs incurred by the student, as a direct result of their disability, to enable them to attend and undertake their course of study. DSA’s are not paid as a set amount; this is determined by an assessment which will identify the required equipment and support and the subsequent costs. The learner’s LEA administers the DSA and confirms eligibility and learners have to apply to them. Applications for DSA can be submitted before the start or during the course. Contact Supported Learning for more information or help with next steps.

What are the different types of Apprenticeship? Intermediate Apprenticeships

at City College Norwich Apprenticeships are a great way to earn while you learn and an ideal alternative if you don’t want to do a full-time programme but want to get into work whilst continuing your education. City College Norwich works with nearly 800 employers to provide apprenticeships, from the largest employers in the country through to small, ambitious businesses that are keen to grow. We work collaboratively with those employers to deliver training both on and off the job. In most cases your programme will involve day release delivery at the college as well as planned training and development with a mentor in the workplace.

The school has a very active programme of events using venues throughout the county and also encourages students to spend time at events on a national stage, such as the Latitude Festival or in the O2 arena. In many cases, subjects are taught by practicing artists in the top class facilities at the college – such as our state-ofthe-art, award winning Creative Arts Building. As well as creative learning spaces there is a wealth of
