How do we meet learners’ needs? “Support Directory”

• Internal database outlining

support needs and strategies.

• Evolves over time – updated
• All teachers have access

“Cause for Concern”

• Internal referral system for any

learning, behaviour or welfare concerns

• Picked up by Pupil Support Team
• Interventions if needed – you

would be contacted if required

Maths Sets have changed

• Pupils set in maths – many schools do this to best meet

pupil needs and ensure the best learning

• These can change – pupils can move up and down to be in

the best place for them to achieve their best.

• Based on a range of assessment evidence - by the

department and using transition information.

• Calculators available via Parentpay
