Supporting Children with Special Educational Needs (SEN)

At the ICS we accept a limited number of children with mild to moderate special needs. We teach them in our mainstream classrooms:

 

• Children with learning difficulties.
• Children with physical disabilities.
• Children with social or emotional problems.
• Children with a gap in their education due to moving around different schools.
• Gifted children.

 

Individual approach
Our school’s organisation allows us to tailor our teaching and support to every child’s individual needs:

 

• Class/subject teachers plan work at different levels to match the ability and experience of all children.

• In primary school, teaching assistants ensure that the children are accessing the curriculum to the best of their ability.

• In primary, children are grouped according to ability for literacy and numeracy.

• In secondary, children are grouped according to ability for mathematics.

 

Learning Support Assistants (LSA) offer full or part time additional support, in all or just a few subject areas. They meet regularly with class/subject teachers to feedback on the progress and achievements of the children they support.
