Special Education Needs Survey

SEN Statement

The Learning Support Department is a resource which exists to strengthen and support learning across the whole ability range. This encompasses a very wide range of issues. As a consequence, Cokethorpe's response must be a flexible one which includes a variety of approaches to the varying needs of our pupils. Our role also requires us to support the staff and to disseminate good practice throughout the school.

Our main teaching and learning objectives can be summarised as first and foremost basic skills; we are here to improve the skills of those pupils who have difficulties acquiring the basics of literacy and numeracy. There is a need to recognise, however, that there comes a time when other needs predominate, and there is a gradual move towards the teaching of basic skills through other, curriculum based tasks. We work on study skills, recognising and understanding individual learning styles and using strengths and applying strategies. We look to improve thinking skills; time management and planning; revision and exam techniques; and knowledge and use of ICT. At a personal level we encourage self-awareness and self-analysis; organisation; boosting confidence and self-esteem; acceptance of constructive criticism; pro-active problem solving and the discussion of issues of importance to the individual. Additionally we seek to boost confidence and self-esteem.
