Special Education Needs
Our dedicated learning support department enables those pupils with specific learning difficulties to successfully access our academic curriculum. We welcome pupils with physical disabilities, provided that they are able to access all areas of the school site and our curriculum. Learning support is available in the junior and senior school and lessons are timetabled for pupils with specific learning needs. We request that parents discuss with us any specific learning needs and previous support the child has received at an early stage in the admissions process. Copies of any reports such as a specialist teacher assessment, educational psychologist’s report, or any medical reports are required well in advance. This will ensure that we are aware of the child’s background and allows us to assess our capacity and resources to meet their needs. The SENCo (special educational needs co-ordinator) is available to meet with parents and will arrange an informal discussion with the child and parents as necessary.
