Academic Access and Achievement
(Formerly Learning Support)
The department is
able to offer a weekly
1:1 tailored lesson
for those students
with SEN and who
would benefit from
extra academic
attention. In addition
to providing support
in relevant subject
areas, these lessons
can also provide
guidance on revision
strategies, deadline
management,
study skills and
mindfulness.
In Year 10 and 11,
we tailor lessons
around the students’
Supervised Prep and
Study sessions within
their timetables. We
additionally encourage
all students to make
use of the Academic
Confidence Clinic
which runs bi-weekly
on a Monday and
Wednesday during
activity and prep time.
Core Support Groups
We also offer small
group support lessons
in the core subjects
of English, Maths and
Science. These are in
place of the 1:1 lessons
and allow students
to work together in a
collaborative way with a specialist teacher with a
focus on the three core subjects.
Examinations Access Arrangements
Additionally, in Year 10 we will inform you if you are
entitled to extra provision in examinations. This can
include:
• A reader
• A scribe
• 25% extra time
• Modified papers
All students are encouraged to make use of the
department and its resources.
