ADDITIONAL SUPPORT

At St Aloysius’ College the Additional Support Team works closely with the Pastoral Team to ensure that every pupil is included and supported in their learning. Preparation begins well in advance of S1 for pupils with additional support needs in order to plan and provide appropriate support.

This may include the following:

• Working collaboratively with class teachers to provide individual learning profiles and support strategies

• In-class support provided by support assistants

• Monitoring for assessment arrangements

• Extra literacy classes provided by specialist staff

• Curricular adaptations, where appropriate

• Referral system, in-school screening and specialist testing

• Liaison with parents/carers and external agencies

• Use of technology and assistive software
