| Learning Support at Hartismere |
 Hartismere follows a whole-school approach to learning support and
therefore all teaching departments plan their work so that our pupils
are offered the greatest opportunity to achieve full potential. |
|
In
addition, there is a Learning Support Department which works with pupils
with learning difficulties. Pupils are encouraged to take full advantage
of the main school curriculum and are helped to become more independent
learners. They are supported by being taught in small groups which are
withdrawn from lessons, in class support, tutorial-time sessions,
lunchtime tuition and help for homework. Parents are encouraged to help
in the programme of support to improve skills and confidence. |
|
The Learning Support Department endeavours to work
in partnership with parents to assess, identify and encourage all pupils
to achieve their potential. A full copy of the school's Special
Educational; Needs Policy is available at the school on request. |
|
The
school takes full advantage of regular meetings with the School Support
Team which includes an Educational Psychologist, Advisory Teacher,
Advisory Teacher Visual Impaired, Advisory Teacher Hearing Impaired,
Physiotherapist, Occupational Therapist. The school liases fully with
Social Serviced and the voluntary sector. |
|
Staff
in the department are encouraged to pursue professional development
courses, which recently have included Downs Syndrome, Spina Bifida, KS3
KS4 Literacy, Dyslexia, First Aid, Children's Metal Health, Aspergers
