Intervention & Support
Interventions to Support Progress
It is our firm belief that the most significant impact a school can have on academic progress is what happens day in and day out in the classroom. However, some students have greater barriers to learning than others and will require additional interventions to help them overcome these barriers.
We will always prioritise supporting our students specific needs and acknowledge for some this goes beyond academic interventions.
The table below provides examples of the interventions we have in place to support students.
| Key area of needs | Example of interventions available |
|---|---|
| SEND | Cognition & learning support Communication and interaction support Physical and / or sensory support Social, Emotional & Mental Health referral / support Bespoke packages, e.g. IDL literacy / dyslexia support |
| Literacy & Numeracy | Decoding support Automaticity programme Fluency intervention Spelling & writing programmes Wider reading programme Handwriting skills Reading buddies programme Literacy for adulthood programme Numeracy programme |
| Academic Needs | 1:1 Tutoring Progress interventions Subject specific interventions Curriculum master classes Revision skills workshops |
| Learning Behaviours | Study support referral Progress Leader support / mentoring Pastoral tutor support Organisational support programme Revision skills support Attendance / behaviour support plans |
