Learning Enrichment
Pupils with SEND or EAL achieve at least as well as their peers, well supported by the school’s Learning Enrichment department – ISI Report 2023
The Learning and Enrichment team run workshops during regular PSHE lessons, to promote the work of the department, and is on-hand at all times to provide assistance to pupils who are looking for ways to enhance their learning.
We provide a wide range of SEND interventions, including one-on-one support for girls who need additional help in the classroom. All students are screened in Year 7, sitting the Lucid Exact test which picks up potential difficulties.
There are a range of interventions we can employ around structuring writing, note-taking or concentration; many of which use personalised online programmes such as Lexia or Maths-Whizz to monitor progress. The department works closely with each student and her parents to find the best individual solution for her learning.
A resilient growth mindset of turning ‘I can’t’ into ‘I can’t quite yet.’
