Support for Learning

What can you expect?

To develop skills and strategies that will enhance access to the curriculum and examinations.

The Course

The course is divided into two parts: learning support and mathematics support.

The learning support periods are designed to provide the students with the skills required to access their courses and a comprehensive programme of study skills is offered to enhance her preparation for examinations. In addition, the learning support time is designed to offer each individual student support in areas of the curriculum where they are experiencing difficulty.

In mathematics support the students have two periods a week with a mathematics teacher who works within the Faculty of Support for Learning. The lessons are used to review and practise mathematical skills and concepts at the level they are studying in their mathematics lessons and support mathematical requirements in other courses.

Progression

Students who may further benefit from support in the Sixth Form are invited to attend a weekly tutorial with a member of Support for Learning staff.
