Learning Enhancement

Bede’s welcomes a broad range of pupils to the school and all children are seen as individuals and as having an entitlement to personal, social and intellectual development while being given the opportunity to meet the highest standards of which they are capable.

The Learning Enhancement Department works in collaboration with classroom teachers, teaching assistants, parents and pupils to ensure that the pupils make excellent progress. By fostering positive attitudes towards learning, pupils are encouraged to become competent, self-confident and independent learners.

Pupils at Bede’s have a right to a broad, balanced, relevant and appropriate curriculum and a wide range of activities. Each pupil with special educational needs should have their needs identified and met in order for them to reach their academic, emotional and social potential and achieve independence in learning and behaviour by the time that they leave school.

Pupils are nurtured to enhance literacy, numeracy, and organizational skills. With tailored guidance and resources, they build a strong foundation in reading and maths, while mastering effective study strategies. This holistic approach empowers students to excel academically and prepares them for a bright future.

On arrival at Bede’s all children with SEN needs will have their reading and numeracy skills assessed in order to ascertain the level of support they need. An individual Provision Map and Learning Plan will then be created for each child. This plan is shared with all members of the Bede’s teaching staff and will include a list of recommendations in order for the teacher to support the LE pupil.
