Learning Support at Grey Court School

The Inclusion and Learning Support Department plays a pivotal role in supporting the Learning of pupils throughout the school.

Its involvement with the children begins with pre-entry transition work with primary schools, through screening, assessment and intervention, and ends with support for final exams and work with colleges that pupils transfer to.

All children are screened on entry for general learning difficulties and specific problems such as Dyslexia or dyscalculia.

The department works with Faculties to monitor and support all pupils throughout their time at Grey Court. Some children may need just that extra boost with their reading skills, some might need study skills intervention or support for exams; others may have specific needs relating to literacy acquisition, speech and language, medical needs or behaviour – the department is here to work for the inclusion of all.

The wide ranging work of the department includes;
Screening and assessment, both general and individual
Monitoring and tracking of progress of all students
Advice for teachers, parents and students
