At Ardingly, we welcome students who can make the most of the opportunities on offer and can flourish in the nurturing environment we provide. Treating every child as an individual is important to us and guides our approach to Learning Support.

We welcome students with special educational needs or a learning difficulty, provided that our Learning Support team and the wider College resources can provide them with the support they need to access fully our broad and balanced curriculum.

 

“Pupils who have SEND make rapid progress, achieve their potential and attain in line with their peers”

We offer quality teaching and learning opportunities, extra support and additional resources where appropriate, as well as outstanding pastoral care in a safe and stable environment.
