SEN statement

Provided by the school and not part of our review

We aim to support all students experiencing difficulties so that everyone can make the greatest possible progress in their learning. This is offered in many ways:

• In-class support with an extra adult in the classroom to help students;

• Withdrawal lessons for some students to give them extra help;

• Advice to teachers from our team of specialists to help produce teaching materials;

• Enrichment sessions providing extra help outside normal lesson times for those students who choose to come along.

Specific skills work might include personal organisation, or more advanced study skills such as speed reading, mind mapping or revision techniques. Help can be requested by the students themselves, by parents or by staff.

The support programme is managed by the Special Needs Co-ordinator who is always pleased to discuss with parents any problems their children may be experiencing.
