Special Education Needs
At Hanford, while we can cater for most on this list, we have particular expertise in Dyscalculia, Dysgraphia, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia and EAL. We provide support as follows: English: Two part-time teachers, covering a full timetable, offer support to girls during times other than their allocated English lessons. Lessons are primarily for individuals, but in just a few instances they are for pairs or small groups of girls. The Special Needs teachers liaise very closely with the teachers of English. Mathematics: one part-time Mathematics teacher offers support to individuals requiring help. Lessons are in addition to the normal allocation of Maths lessons.
