The schools that make up the Conservatoire are small and specialist in nature. Although this means that we may not have all of the resources available in large universities, we do have the advantage that students are known personally by all their teachers and that wherever possible we offer support tailored to your individual needs. All staff at the Conservatoire schools undergo specialist training to help support disabled students.
We will work with you to identify potential barriers to developing skills in all aspects of your training and do what we can to remove them. Dyslexia is by far the most commonly disclosed impairment, but we also have experience of training students with a wide range of impairments and conditions. Schools can also assist students in their application for the Disabled Students’ Allowance and in finding specialist help.
The Conservatoire has produced a very useful booklet called Support for Disabled Students, which you can down load by clicking here:
