Excellent Support

We are proud of our support for students. It has been consistently praised by inspectors over many years and has been awarded top grades. At the start of your course, you will be allocated to a tutor who will discuss your progress with you. Tutors will be able to give you advice on a range of issues and concerns including:

• study skills 
• subject difficulties
• finance and personal issues         
• course changes                  
• becoming an independent learner

Safeguarding & Student Wellbeing

Leyton Sixth Form College has a designated team to support students with welfare and support needs. The College has an onsite counselling service, and students can also access advice on welfare, health, and financial issues. Students and/or families being supported by their local authority will have access to a dedicated named person to support them in college and liaise with external agencies. We have a wide range of resources available to us and can refer students to external agencies where appropriate.
 

LEARNING SUPPORT

Students with additional needs will have regular access to a named teacher from our experienced learning support team who will work with your subject teachers to support you. We have a wide range of expertise and currently support students with mobility issues, sensory impairments, autistic spectrum disorder, general and specific learning difficulties, general health issues and mental health difficulties. All support is negotiated with students and takes full account of your views and preferred ways of learning.

If you meet the criteria set by the Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ), you may be eligible for a variety of access arrangements for examinations including extra time, a scribe or reader and/or modified papers.
 

Financial Support

Leyton offers financial support through the Bursary Fund, Learner Support and Hardship Fund for students who qualify.
