Additional support is for students who have particular problems whether it be dyslexia or physical disabilities, it is extra help for students with what they get from the classroom.
Karen Mayfield is the Student Support Officer she helps out with welfare issues so it could be students hoaving housing problems or relationship problems etc.
Vivienne Ridpath helps students with word blindness so people with dyslexia, dyspraxia and physical disabilities.
Janet Waters helps students with literacy problems and helps with organisation.
Alex Splading helps students with their paper work,
Vera Baney is the exams officer EMA and transport officer.
Oz Osbourne Helps students with mental health issues
Terri Kemp helps students who are hard of hearing, also Terri is trained in sign language.
Councellors help out students confidentially
Peer Supporters listen to students and give help on where to go and see which people.
Bob Smith gives students maths support
John O' Leary is the coordinator and tries to keep the whole lot together.
There are eight or nine students a week asking for additional suport but that does not include students who go to see Karen Mayfield or councellors this specifically for students with accademical needs. The most common additional support service need is literay and accademic needs.
Additional support is not advertised very well around the college. The really well known supporters are the councellors, but literacy and numeracy help are not really known so more advertising on literacy and numeracy support.
The promotional video we are making should not take more than three and a half minutes.
The main thing they want us to include in the promotional video is that any difficulties any student has just speak to any of the supporters above and make the students not feel scared and let them know that the supporters are friendly. Also include the people who give services like Karen Mayfield, Vivienne Ridpath, Oz Osbourne etc. but do not focus on the suppport services as much.
Vivienne Ridpath is in college Mondays and Thursdays
Karen Mayfield is full time
Alex Spalding is Wenesday afternoons
Oz Osbourne is Mondays and Thursdays
Things not to include are students names because of confidential reasons.
