Learning Development
Our Approach
Small class sizes create room for individual focus, and Learning Development strengthens and enriches progress for every pupil.
High quality teaching at its heart
The Department adds value to attainment by supporting high-quality teaching across the School. Rather than placing Learning Support Assistants in classrooms, we equip pupils with the skills to take ownership of learning. A bespoke ‘Learning Skills’ programme is embedded in First Form; Heads of Department and the Head of Learning Development monitor progress and offer short-term interventions when needed (available to all). Pupils with specific SEND receive targeted 1:1 or small-group support from a highly qualified team. Exam preparation ranges from general study skills to personalised sessions; EAL learners are likewise supported to make strong progress.
Academic Enrichment
Furthering the academic experience of pupils through trips, guest speakers, ‘theme’ weeks, and external academic competitions helps to ensure broader horizons and attitudes to learning.
