Learning Support 

The Learning Support Department is committed to helping all students become independent and confident lifelong learners.

 

We help students develop strategies to maximise success and minimise barriers to learning.

Learning Support is a calm and nurturing environment, enabling students to work individually with the team on hand to support when necessary.

We offer study skills help to a wide range of students as and when they need it, and we advise staff about learning difficulties and the best strategies to employ in supporting the students in their classroom through differentiation.

The department tracks students’ progress and varies the support they receive accordingly, liaising with teaching and pastoral staff to identify difficulties so that we can provide the right level of support.

For Year 10 and 11 students, the Learning Support option is for three lessons a week. Consultation with the Learning Support Department underpins this choice.

In Year 10 and the Michaelmas term of Year 11, a flexible programme helps students develop responsibility for their own learning with structured input to build study skills, organisation, revision and exam techniques.

In the Lent and Summer Terms in Year 11, time is given to revision. The areas of study are student generated and respond to individual need.

At King’s Ely, we support students with a range of mild learning difficulties, including dyslexia, dyspraxia, ADHD and some ASD profiles.
