Learning Support

Learning Support at Kingshott is provided, at no extra cost, by well qualified and experienced Specialist Teachers, one of whom has a postgraduate diploma in Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLD), such as dyslexia. They are able to assess, recognise, plan individual programmes and teach children who have a variety of difficulties, using multi-sensory methods.

Support of individual needs is available for any children from Years 1 to 8, throughout the ability range. This may be delivered on an individual basis, in small groups or within the classroom. For many, support may be necessary only for a short time, to address a particular problem. For others, support may be needed throughout their time at Kingshott.

The Learning Support Department works closely with class teachers and specialist staff and has close links with parents, so that we can all work together to support the needs of the children. The teachers are made fully aware of any child’s learning difficulty so they can plan their teaching accordingly. Appropriate teaching and learning strategies are shared with both teachers and children to maximise success and to increase self-confidence.

After diagnostic testing, there may be discussion with parents about possible referral to an outside agency, such as Educational Psychologists, Speech and Language Therapists, Optometrists etc., for more detailed assessment. The findings would be shared with all relevant teachers. If any special examination arrangements were recommended, these would be put in place.
