Learning Support

The Learning Support Department is responsible for leading on and ensuring the provision of support for pupils with SEND, both through direct support of pupils and their parents and indirectly through our teaching staff. We encourage the highest potential from all pupils by encouraging them to become more aware and mindful learners. Our aspiration is for pupils to recognise their role in the learning process and develop their own styles of thinking, learning and growth. Our practice works towards building resilience in the face of challenges and pleasure in overcoming them.

The Head of Learning Support acts as the SENDCo for the school and oversees access arrangements for public examinations as well as a screening programme for all pupils on entry to the School.

All St Edward’s teachers are trained to look out for signs that pupils might have learning needs and will refer any pupils if significant concerns arise. Similarly, if parents are concerned about their child’s learning needs, Tutors will be happy to discuss the process for assessment and additional support.
