Individual Support (SEN/G&T)

In Individual Learning our aim is to ensure that all students are suppported and able to access the National Curriculum at an appropriate level.

The department has a lively, well qualified and committed team of teachers and support staff who are available to meet with parents and students in an attractive environment to help ensure that good study habits are developed from Year 7 onwards.

In order to address the specific educational needs of all students, we provide in-class support, workshops, clubs and individualized programmes including Wordshark, Numbershark and "Successmaker". Some programmes necessitate the student being taken out of class. These programmes are normally run on a half termly rotational basis so that disruption to individual lessons is minimized.

The Learning Zone

Our Learning Zone provides a dedicated area where vulnerable students are individually supported so that they can access the curriculum at an appropriate level.  Clubs are also held at break and lunch time to encourage students to be self-aware and become fully integrated into the life of the school community.

The Learning Space

This newly refurbished area will provide support for those on the autistic spectrum and those with speech, language and communicaiton difficulties (SLCD).  This bright learning environment with a dedicated chill-out room and sensory garden will enable students to feel secure and be supported appropriately.
