Please consult us in advance if you have special learning needs. We can sometimes help students with difficulties with their sight or their hearing, but our courses are not suitable for those who are the completely blind or the very deaf. Please tell us in advance if you are dyslexic. If you are planning to take an examination we may be able to make special arrangements.
We are unable to accept those with significant mental health problems and if in doubt please consult us before enrolling yourself or others with any history of mental health problems so that we can advise.
Due to the age and traditional design of our schools we are not accessible for wheelchair users or those who have difficulties using stairs.
