Additional Learning Support
Specialist support available
You can receive support in every aspect of learning and college life. We want to help you achieve success. We work in partnership with over ten local authorities, providing a highly individualised support offer for our students with special educational needs and/or disabilities. Support is accessible across all levels of study and at City of Bristol College we pride ourselves that our students have access to an inclusive, supportive learning environment with dedicated highly skilled staff.
Transition support
Our Learning Support Teams at each of our College Centres will work with you to plan your transition. Our SEND Admissions Administrator will also contact your school/or setting if you have:
- have an Education Health and Care Plan (EHCP)
- attend a Specialist School or Alternative Learning Provision
- come from the Pupil Referral Unit
- have been in Hospital Education, Home Education or have been out of education
If you’d like to discuss transition support during your move to college, please contact our Learning Support Team at learningsupport@cityofbristol.ac.uk. We are here to help and would love to hear from you.
Residential facility for students with additional needs
The Brislington Centre For Independent Living and the Ashley Down Centre For Independent Living offers independent living in Bristol. They are residential facilities in Bristol for students with additional needs. Students stay overnight from Sunday through to Friday, returning home over weekends and college holidays.
