Special Education Needs

Stroud has a dedicated Learning Support team that works with children across the school to ensure that any barriers to learning are identifies and supported. At Stroud we have always prided ourselves on our ability offer additional support to enable pupils to reach their potential, and we are broadly inclusive. Where new pupils join the school in the older years, our admissions process is gently selective. This ensures we can meet the needs of new pupils without compromising the support in place for those already at our school. Whilst we are not always able to support pupils with a high level of need, we have a dedicated learning support team that works in all areas of the school to support teachers in providing the best possible learning outcomes for all. We are immensely proud of the progress our pupils make, and none more so than of those who experience additional challenges. We recognise that all children have different strengths, needs, talents and skills; helping each and every one of our pupils ‘find their thing’ is a big part of what we do at Stroud, regardless of academic ability.
