Learning Support  

Kidderminster College embraces inclusive learning and seeks to ensure that every student develops and meets their potential for learning and achievement.

Support is offered to all students who have been identified with a need for additional learning support. All our support is designed to help individual students to access their chosen learning programme.

An initial assessment of needs is undertaken with the student to identify any specific difficulties and the level of support required, which could include classroom support, 1:1 or small group tuition and/or exam access arrangements.

Recent analysis of ‘value-added’ data shows that overall our supported students achieve better
than expected results.



For further information and an informal chat please contact:
Di Willetts, Additional Learning Support Manager,
on 01562 512069 or email dwilletts@kidderminster.ac.uk
