Academic Support

Throughout the year, each pupil’s progress is monitored and where necessary additional support is provided, both inside and outside the classroom.

This support can take a variety of forms and might include academic and/or pastoral support. This ensures that all our pupils make outstanding progress, and helps them prepare for the next stage in their lives.

The first line of academic support is the classroom teacher. Teachers will ensure that all students in their classroom are making good progress. Where we identify the need for additional support, this might take the form of a lunchtime or after school support sessions, mentoring sessions, revision clinics and study skills sessions.

We also have an extensive subject enrichment programme, which serves to deepen pupil’s knowledge, enhance their skills and stimulate their minds. It can also expose students to various career options that they may not have considered.  

English as an additional language (EAL)

For pupils for whom English is not their first language they will receive additional small group support if required. We monitor the progress of these students and ensure that they develop the necessary language skills and confidence to integrate fully into the classroom. Any student that is struggling with their English skills will also receive this level of support.

We aim to balance the academic support with the need for our pupils to have a break and enjoy school; to relax with their friends and build meaningful and lasting positive relationships.
