Dyslexia Friendly Status
The school is very proud of the fact that it was recently awarded Dyslexia Friendly full status. The award recognises the levels of intervention that a school provides to assist students in overcoming literacy difficulties. The support strategies and resources are offered across all curriculum areas and the continuum of provision ranges from:
Wave 1: (Classroom intervention): Attendance at a local mainstream school with 'quality first teaching' of literacy skills - to include differentiated teaching of literacy as needed.
Wave 2: Small group support as part of the primary framework e.g. Early Literacy Support, Additional Literacy Support, Further Literacy Support etc.
Wave 3: Specialist programmes delivered either individually or in small groups as part of a Classroom Support Plan/Provision Map at School Action/School Actions plus. We would expect Classroom Support Plan targets to be monitored and reviewed, by the school and parents, in line with the SEN Code of Practice.
