Additional Support and Disability
Additional Support and Disability at ICP
At ICP, we’re proud to foster a culture of high expectations where every student is encouraged and supported to thrive. In our classrooms, we’re committed to delivering high-quality teaching tailored to each learner—this includes students with additional educational needs. Our community and curriculum are built on principles of access, inclusion, and belonging.
We understand that no two students are the same. That’s why we take the time to get to know each individual, ensuring the support we provide is meaningful and meets their unique needs. If you choose to tell us about an additional need, we’ll invite you to a friendly conversation to explore how we can best support you. Alongside excellent teaching, we offer carefully chosen, targeted support strategies which we review regularly to ensure they are effective.
Our inclusive approach lies at the heart of student success. We’re especially proud of our students who may have joined us with lower prior attainment but go on to achieve fantastic outcomes at ICP and the University of Portsmouth.
We believe that trust, honesty, and partnership are the foundations of a successful learning experience. We’ll be clear about what you can expect from us—and what we expect from you as you begin your journey into further or higher education. We’ll always use our professional judgement to offer the support we can—and be transparent when we’re not able to.
To parents, guardians, and caregivers: we deeply appreciate the trust you place in us to support your child. We take that responsibility seriously and ask that you partner with us in open, honest communication. Your insights are invaluable, and together, we can make a real difference in your child’s educational journey.
