Transition Support

At Gower College Swansea, we are committed to supporting you every step of the way - before you join us, during your time as a student and as you prepare for life after college.

We know that moving from school to college can feel like a big change, so our Learning Support team works with you, your family, and other professionals to make the process as smooth as possible.

Whether you need advice, extra guidance, or a more personalised plan, we’re here to help you succeed. If you need a more personalised approach, we can provide tailored support throughout the transition process. All decisions about support are evidence-based and agreed at our weekly Access to Education Panel.
