Learning Support
SEN
Children who have been previously identified as having a learning difficulty are put on the SEN register immediately and are monitored carefully. They may have supportive lessons in a group or individually, depending on the circumstances. If a child appears to be experiencing difficulties, the form tutor will refer the child to the SENCO who will do an initial assessment with the permission of the parents. If no specific difficulty is identified, the child will continue to be monitored. A child may be offered some extra support or may be referred to an educational psychologist outside school for a comprehensive assessment. There is a facility for specialist teaching, which is not funded by the school, and this is arranged through the SENCO.
Similarly, there are opportunities to see an occupational therapist or a speech and language therapist if this is considered necessary.
