Our Additional Learning Support (ALS) team will support by closely monitoring the progress of students with identified support needs, including those with an Education Health and Care Plans (EHCP).
We will do this with continuous reviews of the level of support a student receives to determine if a student would benefit from increased one-to-one support. Support will also include out of class sessions to complement any in-class sessions. The ALS team has a flexible mode of delivery for support. Students can choose in-person or online delivery for their support sessions.
