This may be due to missing school because of illness, phobias, caring responsibilities, etc. or not having found your direction since leaving school. If you are interested, and wish to apply for a place, or just to find out more information, then please contact the college on 01235 216400 or email admissions@abingdon-witney.ac.uk

Learning & method assessment
A group of students are made up of very mixed abilities and our sessions are tailored to the needs of the individuals. Teaching is done via workshop sessions, where the class is supported by the Learning Support Advisor (LSA) and Mentor.

The Mentor will also conduct 1:1 support meetings during this time. A Co-ordinator works across both sites, accessing each equally and offering tailored sessions.

We know that not all of our workshop sessions will appeal to or are needed by every student and therefore we offer a flexible timetable, with the option for students to opt out of workshops if needed.
