Learning Support Service

The Learning Support Service at Newcastle College provides support, advice and guidance for students with a wide range of learning needs.

We are here to help students across the college who have a range of additional support needs. We support students in a number of ways and are committed to providing inclusive education in a safe and positive environment. Our service has a growing reputation and we're delighted to work with key organisations such as North East Autism Society and Action on Hearing Loss.
