Eligibility / referral criteria:
The College provides education for young people whose needs cannot be met within mainstream general further education. For the majority of young people living in Gateshead who have learning difficulties and/or disabilities, education and training provision will be delivered in a mainstream setting. A specialist college will be considered for a small number of young people with a learning difficulty assessment, where the local authority follows the view that their education and training needs can only be met by an Independent Specialist Provider. A placement at Percy Hedley College requires agreed funding and the young person’s Connexions personal adviser can provide more information about whether a student may be eligible to apply for a place.
