Individualised Approach
The department adopts an individualised approach to each child's difficulties and aims to work with teaching staff, the pastoral system and parents to help children to accept their difficulties, learn to manage them independently and attain their potential. A staged system of support, which includes assistance from outside agencies if appropriate and regular target setting, monitoring and review, is implemented by an experienced team of Teachers and Learning Support Assistants.
Integrated Support
Much of the support given is within the normal classroom environment but occasionally pupils work in small groups or individually with specialist teachers. Pupils with Educational Health Care Plans are integrated into all aspects of the curriculum.
Curriculum IntentOur aim is to create an inclusive environment where barriers to learning are overcome via strategies, targeted interventions or additional support giving full access to the curriculum for all. Our pupils’ success will be recognised through increased independence and confidence in the classroom as well as being equipped for adulthood and the wider world. |
