Our Current Post 16 Students
What Nisai Post 16 students are currently studying:
Overcoming Learning Barriers - SEN
“My barriers all had to do with the face-to-
face and close-contact involvement that
mainstream schools have.
Online learning basically eradicated those barriers, what with it being online and not in a cramped
classroom.
It's given me a lot more confidence knowing
that I can fit my learning and exams
around me, which was stopping me before.”
