Please let us know that you have had exam access arrangements at c.turl@farn-ct.ac.uk and we will arrange for you to have an interview and reassessment as soon as possible. Exam Access Arrangements may include a reader, scribe, extra time, use of word processor, small room or rest breaks. Interviews and reassessments are prioritised in exam order, however we will endeavour to meet with you as soon as possible.

They will work with you to ensure that you get the support you need, liaise with tutors so that they are aware of your needs and know how to best support you in the classroom, and put in place support in line with your plan and the demands of your course. Students with EHCPs will have regular opportunities to meet with their key person as well as small groups and in class support (where appropriate).

Students are also welcome to use this area before classes in the morning.
