We have a strong belief in inclusion
All our pupils are encouraged to stretch themselves and reach their full potential – many of the pupils on our Learning Support List achieve above and beyond what early indicators may suggest, and several of them are also recognised as Higher Achieving Pupils (HAPs) .
The pupils support one another excellently through a range of programmes such as reading and maths mentors.
Our younger pupils help our older pupils out, too. Several of our older pupils are working towards vocational Post-16 experience, and use some of their free-time within school to help out our younger pupils.
Through engaging with this support and being thoroughly good sports, our Junior School pupils actually help our Senior School pupils to attain meaningful work experience, and to hone their skills in working with children and young people.
We champion all our pupils
Pupils are supported in whatever area they most need it – we provide additional 1:1 lessons for specific subjects; we provide support with social skills and with physical difficulties.
Our lunch-time activity clubs have proved particularly popular.
It’s vital that we champion all our pupils in their successes both in and outside of school – we have an achievements board in the Learning Support room which is constantly being updated with photos of our pupils with their trophies for diving, horse-riding, swimming, skateboarding, motor-cross racing – you name it!
Thank you for completing the form.
