The Learning Support Department currently consists of the Head of Department (Senco), one full-time and one part-time dyslexia teachers, five full-time and two part-time teaching assistants.

The Senco’s office and the dyslexia base are located in Ashburner House, the Victorian mansion at the top of the site.  The school is developing and upgrading resources to extend the use of computers as a tool to diagnose and teach pupils with learning difficulties.

We are hoping to appoint a talented, enthusiastic and committed teaching assistant who will have the skills and ability to add to this successful team.

The Learning Support Department works as a strong team, mainly supporting pupils in class, but withdrawing them for specific learning clinics.

SEN pupils take a full part in all school activities both within the curriculum and extra-curricular programme.  Their progress is closely monitored and reviewed using IEPs, Learning Focus Record sheets and regular departmental meetings.
