In Key Stage 4 and the 6th form, we are still here to support our SEND students, although we hope that they will begin to develop their independence ready for their transition to post-16 or post-18 provision. Below is a list of some of the support that we put in.
Key stage 4: years 10 and 11
- More student input and discussion of their Student Support Plans
- Booster classes for specific subjects
- Extra revision classes and homework study groups after school
- Small group and one-to-one withdrawal from classes
- In-class Teaching Assistant support
- Exam access arrangements are assessed and formally put into place for GCSE examinations.

6th form: years 12 and 13
We encourage our SEND students to become part of the 6th form pastoral system and work closely with them to make sure staff understand any extra needs or barriers to learning, however, we don’t abandon them!

- Continuance of exam access arrangements
