Student Support

Individual Needs

Individual Needs often emerge and develop in complexity during early childhood – we employ a full-time Individual Needs Coordinator who works across the school to identify and support students who may require additional support or challenge.

The Individual Needs Coordinator works closely with students, parents and staff to plan, monitor and coordinate provision.

Identification & Support

Referrals relating to the identification of Individual Need are made by academic staff throughout the school year and are explored by the Individual Needs Coordinator through observation and assessment as consideration is given to the way in which the characteristics observed might be best supported. Early identification and intervention are encouraged in the knowledge that they have a significant positive impact on both attainment and wellbeing.

Students identified as requiring a higher level of support receive an Individual Education Plan containing a specific and personalised set of targets designed to maximise access to and progress through the curriculum.
