We will always try and take reasonable and justifiable steps to accommodate the difficulties in question, taking into account the student’s difficulties, practical capability, impact and potential disruption, cost implications, and other legal considerations.

However the very nature of a course may make course accessibility difficult for students with particular types of disability.
Where this occurs we will endeavour to discuss this with you in advance whether you wish to attend certain aspects of a course where such challenges are reasonably and justifiably surmountable or agree an alternative solution which is satisfactory to both parties.

All students are assessed as individuals and have equal access to the learning experience within the school.
For certain courses students are assessed before acceptance according to their relevant skills, abilities and merits in order to ensure course appropriateness.

11.3 - We have designed our courses to deliver appropriate learning across a range of disciplines. Although we will take reasonable steps to warn students of the content of potentially distressing course material, we make no apology for such course material as we believe the material in question is an important part of the learning experience.
