Learning Support – Meeting Individual Needs
We recognize that an increasing number of children may have special educational needs of varying degrees at some point during their school lives. These needs could arise from general learning difficulties, specific challenges, or the need to fully utilize a particular ability. Sometimes learning difficulties can be prolonged and complex, while in other cases, they can be addressed within a short period through individualized help and guidance.
It is our school's policy that all students have full access to all the opportunities we offer and achieve the best possible standards using their full potential. However, the school systems, teaching methods, learning approaches and materials may not be extensive and varied to meet the range and complexity of individual needs. In such cases the child may need special educational support to meet the requirements of children with specific learning needs.
When children experience significant learning difficulties, they may require additional teaching support, either individually or in small groups, under the guidance of specialist teachers. The duration of this support depends on the individual child's difficulties and the progress made. Any additional costs incurred by the school for providing special attention will be the responsibility of the parents.
Parents are strongly encouraged to provide their children with both physical and emotional support. Some work will also be expected to be completed at home, with parental assistance, to facilitate progress. If there is no significant improvement within a reasonable timeframe, and if the school believes the child will not benefit from its programs and resources, parents may be asked to withdraw their child from the school in the best interest of the child.
Supporting Higher Achievers
The school also strives to support higher achievers by catering to their specific abilities or talents through differentiated work and additional activities. Pupils who demonstrate a significantly higher level of ability than their peers in one or more areas are provided with opportunities to further enhance and enrich their learning experience.
These activities may include:
- Differentiated work tailored to individual abilities and learning pace
- Additional enrichment activities organized by the school
- External programs with organizations specializing in talent development
These activities may be organized by the school or by external organizations specializing in these fields, ensuring that every student has the opportunity to reach their full potential.
