Do you provide transport to and from College?

Are there any fees to pay?
The College is funded through the ESFA (Education and Skills Funding Agency) and also the Local Authority through the High Needs Funding block if learners have an EHCP (Education, Health and Care Plan). Parents are not expected to pay fees.
Does my son/daughter need to have an EHCP?

However, we are happy to meet with you and discuss circumstances on an individual basis. It may be that we can support you to apply for an EHCP assessment from your Local Authority.

All learner will have an annual review meeting where we will discuss progress and achievement, after this meeting a decision is made in liaison with the Local Authority as to whether another year at College would be appropriate.

What do students do for lunch?
At Langdon College London, learners bring a packed lunch to College. There are milky kitchen facilities so that students can heat up lunch if required.
What types of support can you provide?
The type of support we can offer will be discussed during transition visits and assessments. It will be based on support stated in your EHCP and at school. We can provide 1-1 support, shared and group support, personal care, behavioural and pastoral support. We also have Occupational Therapist and Speech and Language Therapists who will work with learners based on the provision stated in their EHCP. Support needs are something that can be discussed and based on individual needs.
