SEND foundation programmes

We believe that everyone should be treated fairly. No student should be at a disadvantage, so we want to make sure that we make all reasonable adjustments to help you go about your learning.

Working closely with our Additional Support team, we can help develop a specific support programme tailored to your needs. This may include in or out-of-class support with literacy, numeracy or study skills, as well as other adjustments.

We can offer support with any disability, including:

• Physical disabilities
• Learning difficulties and disabilities
• Sensory impairments, such as visual or hearing difficulties
• Mental health problems

 The type of support we offer includes:

• In-class support from learning support assistants
• Individual or small group out-of-class support from qualified additional support tutors
• Use of specialist software and equipment
• Guidance and support from experienced staff
• Liaison with external support agencies
• Communication support workers and note takers to aid those with hearing difficulties

Working with students, parents, carers and local service providers, West Sussex County Council (WSCC) have produced the West Sussex Local Offer, which provides a basic guide to the location and accessibility of services for students requiring special educational needs and disability (SEND).

Working in collaboration with WSCC, our Additional Support team have produced our own Post 16 Local Offer.

If you have any questions regarding the services Chichester College can provide for students with special educational needs, please contact 01243 786321 and ask for Additional Support.
