The Inclusion Faculty has a far reaching supportive role within the College. It includes the Special Educational Needs department, Foundation Learning and Able and More Able provision.

Special Educational Needs are provided along the DFE Code of Practice guidelines. Some students are supported within smaller classes in Maths and English. Other students receive support across the curriculum within the subject areas.

Foundation Learning allows some students to follow a more practical learning route, through the Guthlaxton Initiative for Vocational Education, Certificate Of Personal Effectiveness and the NOCN Step Up, at award, certificate and diploma level. Students will experience days at FE college, work experience, personal challenges and working with external trainers.

Able and More Able students from the local feeder High Schools are offered an enrichment activity programme in year 9. In years 10 and 11 the identified students are monitored and supported through their subject areas. Some students are part of an educational coaching programme in year 11. From time to time, visits and workshops, in a variety of subject areas, are offered by our local Universities. Year 12/13 students are invited to attend summer school and day visits to our ‘twinned’ college, Pembroke at Cambridge University.
