We welcome pupils who require learning support, providing the specific needs of the child can be managed within the school’s normal provision. However, we advise parents of children with special educational needs or physical disabilities to discuss their child’s requirements with us in advance so that adequate provision can be made prior to visits, interviews and any necessary entrance exam or assessment.
In the Academic Support Department, we make the pupil the centre of all we do and do our utmost to provide flexible responsive support which matches individual learning needs as closely as possible. We work with pupils to help them to develop their learning strengths and preferences, in order to maximise success and enable them to have control and ownership of their learning. We liaise closely with teachers, pastoral staff and parents, in the knowledge that support is most effective when there is a collaborative approach, giving consistent all-round support for the pupil.
