Special Needs & Special Abilities
Linwood Avenue School - December 7, 2020
Some children require additional help or extension work. The school leadership team and our Special Needs Teacher co-ordinates programmes for these children
We have experience with assisting children through a wide range of programmes.
These include:
-
Literacy Intervention
Short term support programmes in Literacy & Numeracy
English for speakers of other language (ESOL) programmes
- Monitoring and supporting children with behavioural problems
- Monitoring and supporting for children who are often absent from school without a good reason
We also cater for children’s needs by offering extension and enrichment programmes. We employ specialised staff to provide these programmes.
If you feel your child is in need of any of these specialist programmes, please come in and see us to talk through this.
