Greens Learning Support
Parents of pupils with SEN needs rightly want their children to thrive and blossom in a mainstream environment. With the support of our dedicated Greens Department, we have seen many extraordinary stories over the years of those who have done just that.
Specialist teachers and adaptive technology are utilised to bring the very best out of pupils for whom there is no stigma attached to receiving support, motivated by the twin heartbeat of Kingham Hill's Equipped to Flourish Programme.
Enabling pupils to become independent, excited learners whilst providing them with effective strategies to succeed is at the heart of the department. Seeing pupils flourish, supporting them to reach their potential whilst equipping them for the future, is a privilege that the Greens' team are able to play a small part in whilst the pupil is studying at Kingham Hill.
Kingham Hill offers specialist support to a limited number of pupils per year group with specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia, dyscalculia and ASD, or those who require extra support in specific subjects.
The programme includes the following with options for up to five one-to-one lessons per fortnight:
- Personalised and bespoke focus.
- Adaptive technology and weekly tasks to support learning and demonstrate improvement.
- Regular collaboration with classroom teachers, with in-class strategies shared across all staff.
- Specialist Greens teachers with a high level of training in supporting dyslexia and dyscalculia.
- Regular updates to parents and guardians which enable progress to be clearly monitored.
- Specialist assessment tools used to identify areas of strength and weakness, as well as monitor progress.
The Department is made up of five staff members. All teachers are qualified as learning support specialists. The calm, nurturing environment is able to meet and support each individual pupil’s needs. All staff in Greens work closely with the wider teaching team and Heads of Departments to ensure correct support is given throughout the school. The Department is fully resourced with a wide range of teaching materials, which enables the highest quality of teaching and learning to be delivered.
The School is a CReSTeD Dyslexia Unit registered school. Our most recent report can be accessed here.
