Student Support

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

Learning plans

We develop tailored learning plans (for students with an EHCP and/or complex needs) that outline specific goals, accommodations and support strategies based on your unique strengths and needs. We conduct frequent assessments and updates to the plan to ensure it remains relevant and effective. 

Supportive staff

Our caseworkers and learning advisors (ASK) can help with tools for time management e.g. planners, calendars and digital tools to help you organise your time and assignments. They can also help you establish consistent routines and schedules to ensure you have a predictable approach to learning.

Teaching strategies

We work hard to ensure that we give step-by-step instructions and check for understanding. Teachers may use charts, diagrams and other visual supports to reinforce learning whilst breaking down larger tasks into smaller, more manageable steps.

Personal development

We have access to considerable amounts of emotional and wellbeing support through The Hub and counselling team. They can help with managing stress, emotional regulation and social skills to support you as you develop your peer interactions.
