Special Education Needs
Highly qualified staff and regular screening ensures that children with any difficulties are identified at an early stage and appropriate intervention is made. Identified children may have extra classroom support or 1:1 teaching. Laptop use is available for children who would benefit from this. A speech therapist visits the school weekly. The most common areas of difficulty in identified children are mild dyslexia and mild dyspraxia. The school has a dedicated SENCo who leads the learning support unit and there are other specially qualified staff who may provide individual help.
