Learning Support

In seeking to provide the highest standard of education possible, we offer additional instruction for some of our students, through our learning intervention programmes for language enrichment, literacy and numeracy.

Programmes are delivered by qualified learning support specialist teachers or trained teaching assistants in a small group context or one-to-one. 

Learning intervention programmes are tailored according to the students’ individual needs and are provided at no additional cost.

Programmes may include:
  • Language and vocabulary (linguistic comprehension)
  • Letter-sound knowledge, blending and segmenting
  • Word reading, word reading fluency and spelling ability
  • Reading comprehension
  • Written expression
  • Place value and basic operations (Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division)

Students who receive learning support vary in ability and need. Some children, often new to school, may need short-term support to ‘catch-up’ in a particular area (e.g. phonics); others may require longer-term support because English is not their dominant language; whilst others may be supported due to a specific learning difficulty that impacts progress.

On occasions, additional support may also be provided in-class by specialist teachers or teaching assistants, where timetable permits.
