Learning Support
All teachers at the Senior School and Sixth Form work together to ensure that the right support (including access arrangements in examinations, where appropriate) is in place to enable pupils to achieve their potential.
In addition to the general support on offer, adjustments may be made to the curriculum to support pupils with specific needs. Typically, these involve minor adjustments within lessons and form part of the day-to-day educational provision, but some pupils also receive individual Learning Support lessons, delivered by a qualified teacher, and/or an adjustment to their timetable.
Individual Pupil Profiles are shared with teachers to ensure that appropriate strategies and information are in place to support the pupils, who are also encouraged to take greater ownership of their own learning journey.
Teachers work closely with the SENCO to ensure that pupils with additional learning needs are identified and appropriately supported, and any pupil who may be eligible for access arrangements at GCSE or A Level is considered for these in line with the relevant examination board regulations and application process.
Members of the Learning Support team are always available to offer help and guidance to Senior School pupils, including our Sixth Formers. They can have timetabled lessons to support their learning or simply book one-off sessions for advice regarding a particular issue, including opportunities beyond KES in Higher Education and Careers.
We hope that these learning support pathways will enable all our pupils at the Senior School and Sixth Form to thrive and to leave KES with the confidence to flourish in the future.
