All children are valued, respected and welcomed to the school whatever their additional educational need. We will support their learning and ensure they are fully included in all school activities, making full use of externally provided facilities where appropriate.

- Speech and Language: individualised or group programmes devised by a Speech and Language Therapist who is assigned to our school. These are for children who have been referred, by the school or a medical professional, to be assessed by the S&L Therapy Sevice. These programmes can include speech sound production, language development and social skills, depending on the child’s needs.
- Toe by Toe: a highly structured multi-sensory individual reading programme which is specifically designed for children diagnosed as having specific learning difficulties.
- Hornet – another highly structured programme for children with a specific diagnosis of Dyslexia.
- Fine motor skills: these skills are vital to the development of many competencies in young children. Activities focus on hand and finger strength, manipulation and eye-hand co-ordination in a variety of enjoyable ways.
- Better Reading programme: targets children who are falling behind with their reasding and aims to boost confidence and accelerate progress through 1:1 frequent sessions with a trained Teaching Assistant.
- Following the 1:1 session, children may be involved in further groups sessions to consolidate learning and ensure they maintain the expected rate of progress.
- Nurture group: offers a focussed intervention strategy, which addresses barriers to learning arising from social / emotional and or behavioural difficulties, in an inclusive, supportive manner.
- Precision Teaching: addresses specific gaps in a child’s knowledge by repeated, targeted teaching in short, frequent sessions. This can be used for a number of areas, including phonic sounds, reading and number facts.

Gifted and Talented
We aim to ensure that children who display exceptional gifts and talents are provided for. Every year, these children are identified by staff as well as their parents to enable the school to make sure that provision is in place to challenge and enrich their learning. The school works to offer a variety of enrichment activities both inside and outside of the classroom, and aims to harness and develop the gifts and talents that our children display.
