Our school offers a range of support for students with special learning needs. This support may include 1:1 support within the classroom setting, where a trained specialist works closely with the student to provide additional assistance and guidance. Depending on the specific needs of the student, there may also be the option for withdrawal sessions, where the student can receive targeted support in a smaller group or individual setting.
For students with special learning needs, Individualised Education Plans (IEPs) are designed. These IEPs are personalised plans that outline specific goals and targets for each student. The goals are often designed to be Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound (SMART). The IEPs help guide instruction and support, ensuring that each student's unique needs are addressed effectively.

These plans are designed to provide extension and enrichment opportunities for students who demonstrate exceptional abilities in certain areas. The AEPs are tailored to the individual strengths and interests of each student and may include specialised projects, research opportunities, mentorship programs, or participation in advanced courses.

By implementing AEPs, our school aims to challenge and nurture the talents of gifted students, providing them with the opportunity to reach their full potential.
