Special Education Needs

We provide specialist, individual tuition to address difficulties, primarily with literacy and numeracy. Tuition takes place out of class, with the SENCO or maths support teacher. There is a rotating timetable of specialist support lessons, such that no child misses more than one lesson of any academic subject during the term. A TEFL qualified teacher provides weekly or twice-weekly tuition, outside of the academic timetable, for students for whom English is a second language. 09-09
