Special Educational Needs

photo : our new facilities At Notre Dame we pride ourselves on being an inclusive school. We have been awarded the Inclusion Kite Mark.

We try to provide for all students’ needs as they arise in a caring, flexible, professional manner.

To be fully inclusive, most of the support we provide is in class enabling students to access the full curriculum. However there are times when some students are extracted to boost literacy skills or to use our specialist material within the department. Work is differentiated where necessary to allow students to achieve their full potential.

The Learning Support Team run a Breakfast and Lunch club daily for all students to complete homework, coursework, research and revision with additional support from Teaching Assistants

Breakfast club 8.30-8.50
Lunch Club 1.30-2.15

There is a warm, welcoming atmosphere allowing students to interact, developing their social and communicative skills.
