In the Senior School Learning Support is coordinated and largely delivered by our Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator (SENCO).

LOGS is able to support pupils with mild or moderate Specific Learning Difficulties where a programme of partial withdrawal from the full curriculum operates.

The lessons that are most likely to be affected are Modern Languages in years 7 – 9. At first the support lessons involve a diagnostic element and the construction of an Individual Educational Plan (IEP).

Withdrawal lessons focus on individual help with learning strategies, revision technique and approaches to decoding specific questions.

In internal exams extra time is made available and students are taught how best to utilise this effectively.

Members of Staff all receive IEPs for identified students, which identify specific needs and advise on appropriate teaching strategies to be employed.

It is hoped that most pupils will have received the necessary support by the end of year 9.

Once pupils have reached Year 10 a reduced curriculum may be offered, involving a narrower choice of subjects at GCSE.

Our SENCO continues to monitor the IEP and work of pupil at GCSE and intervene where necessary.
