Additional Support I have existing support needs, such as dyslexia. What support is available at Long Road?
Teachers will make reasonable adjustments in the classroom and use Quality First teaching to support your learning. Every student will have a One-Page Profile where you can outline your strengths and interests, explain what difficulties you have and how you need to be supported. You can take any equipment you need into lessons, such as a tablet or a laptop, reader pen, overlay etc. If you need to borrow a college laptop, that is possible too. In addition, text to voice software is available on all our college PC’s. You will have access to weekly teacher- lead Subject Plus sessions. This is a chance to go over something you didn’t understand in class, to get some help with homework or coursework or to help you with revision. In addition, you can drop into Academic Support in Study Plus time for more general help with things such as organisation, motivation, essay writing and revision. You can also have some scheduled support from Learning Support Assistants, or, if your needs are more complex, with a Specialist Teacher. As a student here, you will also have access to our Teams resource, “Need support?” which contains a lot of resources to help concentrate, get started, organise yourself, revise better and so on.
