High Needs Learners – Enrolments (Updated In-Year)

We began our enrolment process for high needs learners earlier this year to allow extra support ahead of our main enrolment. We expect full year enrolment numbers to be similar to the previous year.

High Needs Learners – Enrolments (2022-23 Year-End)

High Needs Classroom Trend

Headline numbers as part of overall College cohort

By Level

The number of high needs enrolments remains consistent in 22/23, compared to other years. This confirms the high level of confidence in the local community and from Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council, who commission places with Dudley College of Technology.

The map shows the travel to learn pattern for our High Needs learners in 2022/23. Most learners are from Dudley borough, as would be expected, with learners also travelling from Wolverhampton, Sandwell, Walsall, Birmingham, Staffordshire and Worcestershire. Our highly equipped and specialist estate across the Dudley and Brierley Hill learning quarters continue to provide the resources and support for high needs learners that enables them to achieve, in line with their peers.
