The Student Support Team
Our role is to identify and assess students with special educational needs, to support students with learning difficulties and to advise teachers in the best ways to meet students needs.
We currently cater for students with a wide variety of learning difficulties as well as some students with physical, sensory difficulties and others with emotional, behavioural difficulties.
Student Support have a suite of rooms between the library and the main teaching block. These are equipped with 15 PC’s which are available to students.
Although all teachers are teachers of Students with Special Educational Needs you may need to have contact with members of staff who will be particularly concerned with helping your child.

Teaching assistants do not work with one child as often happens in Primary School. They are involved in in-class support across the curriculum, helping small groups or individuals, mentoring, physiotherapy, personal care, transporting.
Each child with Special Educational Needs (S.E.N.) has a key worker, normally a member of the Student Support Team, who is responsible for overseeing the overall provision for that child.
