Special Education Needs

All girls are screened shortly after entry to the school to help identify any extra provision they may require. This enables all members of staff to accommodate each girl's particular strengths and weaknesses. Should it be deemed necessary, on consultation with parents, the School is able to provide individual support for pupils with mild conditions, and indeed any girl who needs support, in the form of study skills lessons, for which there is an additional charge. In addition to individual lessons, students are able to attend Subject Clinics during the week, for which there is no charge, where they can seek help from a teacher for a specific topic they may find challenging. Our students have access to a range of electronic resources too, and use iPads to access information through Google Classroom. This enables teachers and students to adapt the resources to their specific need, i.e. enlarging a font and/or changing the colour of the page. We do our best to provide for all girls in our care within the classroom environment and do not have additional Learning Support Assistants within the classroom. St Catherine’s School is a vibrant school; the girls experience a busy but dynamic education at the school and their days are filled not only with academic learning but extra-curricular activities too.
