Learning Support & Wellbeing

What does Learning Support look like at Wolsey Hall Oxford?

Every student is an individual and there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all approach to Learning Support. There may be times when there are challenges or barriers to learning encountered by a student. We are happy to use our experience to help you manage the learning at home.

Our Tiered Approach to Learning Support & Wellbeing

Tier 1: Supporting all learners

• Flexible and personalised learning schedule that allows students to choose their subjects, pace, level of study, schedule, breaks, time of day.
• A dedicated Student Progress Manager (SPM) who will be on hand to answer questions and give advice. Monitoring overall progress.
• Support from specialist tutors, who are qualified UK teachers, with a wealth of experience working with students with diverse learning and wellbeing needs. Regular feedback from expert tutors will help learners understand their progress and identify areas for improvement.
• Access to a wide range of resources through our Support for Learning course, where you will find an abundance of tips and tools for effective learning.
• Our easy to use Canvas learning platform, with a simple and intuitive interface that allows learners to access their courses, assignments, grades, feedback, and communication tools.
• Varied and engaging learning materials. The course content is presented in multiple formats, such as text, video, audio, and interactive simulations. Catering for all learning preferences.

Tier 2: Targeted support and information

Student Progress Managers (SPM) will be walking through the learning journey with you, every step of the way. They will have an oversight of progress and will be able to offer targeted advice and support, enabling students to stay focused and on track. For example, this might be offering strategies on how to stay organised or information on how to create an effective study space at home.

Tier 3: One-to-one bespoke sessions with a specialist tutor (paid services)

We have a team of specialist tutors who can offer tailored 1-to-1 online sessions in all areas of SEND and wellbeing, from ADHD to anxiety (and everything in between).

For an additional fee, short or long-term services of support can be put in place for our students. We have a range of interventions that can help students reach their full potential and overcome any barriers to learning. Interventions aim to create strong, independent learners who feel ready to tackle their studies with confidence. We offer a range of additional Learning Support services designed to enhance the educational experience and cater to individual needs. Our paid-for Learning Support services include:

• General Consultation: Support for parents of children with additional needs, helping to navigate their educational journey.
• Access Arrangement Advice: Expert advice for parents seeking special arrangements for their child during I/GCSE, AS, and A Level examination phases.
• 1:1 Student Sessions with a Learning Support Specialist: Personalised sessions focused on addressing the specific additional needs of each student.
• Wellbeing and Positive Mental Health Support: One-on-one sessions dedicated to promoting student wellbeing and mental health.
