PARENT HANDBOOK
Learning Support Our aim is to identify pupils’ learning needs so that we may provide appropriate levels of challenge within the classroom. Our teachers will carry out assessments, periodically, so that we may plan for each pupil’s differing needs in the most appropriate way. Parents will be kept fully informed of the results of these assessments and if necessary be made aware of any additional support their child may be receiving or need. Should there be concerns regarding a pupil’s development, discussions will take place between parents, the class teacher and the Learning Support Co-ordinator when appropriate, to discuss the best way forward for the pupil. This may include request for assessments from external professionals, e.g. educational psychologists, speech therapists etc. These assessments are not funded by the School. Full details of the Learning Support Policy can be found on the website.
