SEN STATEMENT

Learning4life-GY strives to ensure that all students progress from Post-16 education and training as confident, resilient individuals, who are positive about their future and equipped to deal with challenges – having a learning difficulty or disability is not seen as a barrier to making progress.

Within Learnin4lifeGy we believe that all students can achieve. We encourage students to constantly strive to become independent individuals who have the courage to take risks and develop personal responsibility in order to make a successful transition into adulthood.

At Learning4life-GY , we welcome and celebrate diversity and difference. We believe that having high self esteem is crucial to student’s well-being and ensure that all reasonable adjustments are made to the environment, curriculum and timetable to address all students’ needs.
