Learning Support - Greens

Parents of girls and boys with SEN needs will rightly want their children to thrive and blossom in a mainstream environment, and 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 KHS in academic rigour and Equipped to Flourish (ETF).

Kingham Hill School 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 5 one to one lessons per fortnight:

• Personalised and bespoke focus.
• Adaptive Tech 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 high level training in supporting dyslexia and dyscalculia.
• Regular updates to parents/guardians from Greens to enable progress to be clearly monitored and information shared.
• 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.
