Year 11 student feedback , 2020
How will having AEN affect my application ?
You will apply in the normal way , but make sure you :
• Tick the AEN box on the application form
• Give as much detail as possible about your AEN and how it affects you
• Tell us if you have an Educational Health Care Plan ( EHCP ) and enclose a copy of the EHCP
• Tell us if you have access arrangements / exam concessions
Sharing this information will not affect your chances of being interviewed , or being accepted onto a course . It will help us provide appropriate support through the application and interview process , to ensure your AEN does not disadvantage you .
You must however , still meet the Strand requirements .
We abide by , and fully support the Equalities Act of 2010 .
