Special Needs

The Learning Support Department is situated at the top of Peel House in a bright and cheerful classroom with a bird's eye view across the College campus. It is discrete but accessible.

We are well equipped with networked computers and up -to - date SEN software including the integrated learning system, Successmaker. We also have a wide range of current special needs resources

As well as for lessons the room is used for extra curricular activities such as V1th Form mentored reading; spelling; prep; catch up, EAL tutorials and individual assessment, target setting or reviewing with the Special Needs Co-ordinator. Support agency meetings take place here to enable multi-agency support for our students if necessary.

The Learning support staff.

The SENCO (Special Needs Co-ordinator) and 6 members of staff, some full time some part time, make up the learning support team.

They take pride in promoting the College ethos and values by:

Recognising each pupil as an individual learner with his or her particular educational needs.

Promoting each individual's entitlement to a curriculum which is broad, balanced and suitably differentiated.

Promoting the rights of equal opportunity and equality of regard.

Maximising potential to help individual students to develop to become independent adults.

Believing that every child matters.

The Learning Support team are experienced and approachable, providing dynamic and flexible support for students of all ages and difficulties throughout the school. They give individual help in the classroom and in small groups and help teachers by having a sound understanding of special needs and of the students that they support.

Working together we aim to ensure that every child makes the very best out of their opportunities here at Wymondham College.
