Special Education Needs
We believe that every child is uniquely a creation of God and as such should be cared for as that unique and special person. We acknowledge that any pupil may have special educational needs at some point during their schooling. We aim to provide both short and long term support. We have set up a number of strategies for our pupil's benefit in order to allow full access to the National Curriculum and allow them to reach their full potential academically, emotionally and socially. Our provision includes: Social Group, Nuture Group, Modified Homework Planners, Alpha Smarts, Tranisition Package,Small Group Work, One to One, Focus and outside agencies. We have a caring, flexible approach to all our pupils and try to meet the specific needs of each child.
