Newham College supports learners with Special Educational Needs & Disabilities (SEND) so they can achieve their aspirations for independence.
Our SEND department is a specialised department that uses a person-centred approach to create an individualised programme of study that caters for the student’s needs and helps them to achieve their goals. We adapt the curriculum and lessons taught, based on the needs of students and their learning style.
Our tailor-made support programme helps learners onto higher education, further training or employment, independent living, and inclusive participation within the community.
Our study programme aims to:
At Newham College, we care about every one of our SEND learners. We ensure that the initial assessments are done by professionals as part of the interview before enrolment. The main assessment is then carried out within the first six weeks of the new academic year to see what their needs are and how these impact their everyday life.
Our learners come to us through the local authority, schools or external enquiries. Our Transition Officer carries out school visits to assess prospective learners’ needs. We accommodate a wide range of learners and when our learners come to us, our Transition Officers spend time getting to know them, ensuring they are placed on the right course.
We aim to make studying at Newham College easy and smooth for every SEND learner. Our new learners are invited to enrol the week before their course starts where SEND staff will provide assistance with the enrolment process.
