Special Education Needs
Matthew Holland School is fully inclusive and provides good support for pupils with special needs (OFSTED May 2004). We believe that all pupils should be supported in appropriate ways to enable them to have access to a broad, balanced curriculum. This may be through withdrawal for some lessons with support outside the classroom, or through support within the main curriculum. We have an excellent Learning Support Unit where a variety of activities take place. Within the Learning Support Unit, there is small group teaching for pupils in years 7-9, one-to-one coaching for pupils with specific individual needs, behaviour modification programs, work on social skills and speech and language. A range of extra curricular activities take place designed to motivate pupils and raise self-esteem. In years 8 and 9, we have some alternative curriculum in small groups. This takes place within the Learning Support Unit. The ASDAN Life skills course is run in years 10 and 11 and there is a group of students who take part in the Schools’ Link programme at West Notts College. There is a strong emphasis on supporting students to gain effective literacy skills through additional work on reading, support and specific teaching for Dyslexic students and opportunities to work within small groups for some English tasks. Care is taken to ensure the curriculum is tailored to the needs of our learners and this is constantly reviewed. Support is given to some pupils at lunch and break times. This may include access to games, support for homework or just a quiet space.

Interpreting catchment maps
The maps show in colour where the pupils at a school came from*. Red = most pupils to Blue = fewest.
Where the map is not coloured we have no record in the previous three years of any pupils being admitted from that location based on the options chosen.
For help and explanation of our catchment maps see: Catchment maps explained
Further reading
If there are more applicants to a school than it has places for, who gets in is determined by which applicants best fulfil the admissions criteria.
Admissions criteria are often complicated, and may change from year to year. The best source of information is usually the relevant local authority website, but once you have set your sights on a school it is a good idea to ask them how they see things panning out for the year that you are interested in.
Many schools admit children based on distance from the school or a fixed catchment area. For such schools, the cut-off distance will vary from year to year, especially if the school give priority to siblings, and the pattern will be of a central core with outliers (who will mostly be siblings). Schools that admit on the basis of academic or religious selection will have a much more scattered pattern.
*The coloured areas outlined in black are Census Output Areas. These are made up of a group of neighbouring postcodes, which accounts for their odd shapes. These provide an indication, but not a precise map, of the school’s catchment: always refer to local authority and school websites for precise information.
The 'hotter' the colour the more children have been admitted.
