Special Educational Needs/ Learning Support

Special Educational Needs/ Learning Support:

Every child is unique and has different learning needs.

We aspire to promote inclusive education throughout the school and cater for the needs of our students.

All teachers are teachers of SEN and differentiation is an integral part of teaching; this may involve multi-sensory and creative approaches, which facilitate an effective and productive learning environment.

We understand that we have pupils of varying skills and abilities and it is essential that we identify their additional learning needs through observations or screening. 

Some pupils require additional support to achieve their potential and reach their goals.

For some students, the additional support may be temporary, and others may require assistance on a more long term basis either through in-class support, one- to- one withdrawal or small group. 

We create individually tailored educational programmes to meet our pupils’ needs, where necessary.

We have a committed learning support team consisting of: an experienced Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCO), Learning Support Coordinator and learning support assistants.

We aim to provide an environment that develops self- confidence and personal success by finding what children are good at and encourage their strengths.

We listen to parents, advise accordingly and act on their concerns.

We liaise with external specialists for better understanding of our pupils’ needs.
