The Department

We aim to provide holistic, personalised and fully integrated support tailored to each student's needs and circumstances.

A dedicated Learning Support area is available throughout the week, offering one-to-one and small-group sessions. Specialist staff in literacy, numeracy and study skills provide targeted assistance.

• Weekly or one-off one-to-one support
