LEARNING SUPPORT

Personalised Support for Your Learning

At our college, we are committed to making sure every student has access to the support they need to succeed. Whether you're studying on a 16–18 programme, an apprenticeship, or an adult course, support is available across all our campuses: Loxton, Knightstone, and South West Skills.

We understand that every learner is different. That’s why our support is tailored to you. Our team includes staff with expertise in autism, ADHD, mental health, specific learning difficulties (SpLD), hearing loss, and sight loss. They work together to help you feel confident in your learning and make progress towards your goals.

We follow a ‘graduated response to support’ which means that you can receive support in many ways inside and outside of the classroom.

Support is built around a clear process: Assess – Plan – Do – Review. We’ll work with you to understand what’s working well and where you might need help. Together, we’ll create a plan that fits your needs, put it into action, and review it regularly to make sure it’s helping you move forward.

Depending on what’s right for you, support might include:

  • Help with focus, organisation, or managing anxiety
  • Access to assistive technology
  • Learning materials in different formats 
  • Adjustments in the classroom or exam arrangements

Our aim is to support you in a way that’s flexible, respectful, and focused on your future, whether that’s gaining qualifications, moving into work, or preparing for adult life.

One Message, Different Voices

Take a look at this powerful film made by the staff of Weston College to show how important it is for everyone from different backgrounds to be included. The film shares heartfelt stories and interviews with a diverse group of staff, showing how accepting different identities and backgrounds can make a big difference. Its purpose is to encourage viewers to think about their own biases and work towards making our community more welcoming to all. We invite everyone, regardless of their background, to join us and be a part of our journey toward a more inclusive future.

Our workplace champions the right of staff to embrace all Afro-hairstyles. We acknowledge that Afro-textured hair is an important part of our Black employees’ racial, ethnic, cultural, and religious identities, and requires specific styling for hair health and maintenance. We celebrate Afro-textured hair worn in all styles including, but not limited to, afros, locs, twists, braids, cornrows, fades, hair straightened through the application of heat or chemicals, weaves, wigs, headscarves, and wraps. In this workplace, we recognise and celebrate our colleagues’ identities. We are a community built on an ethos of equality and respect where hair texture and style have no bearing on an employee's ability to succeed.
