Hayes has an inclusive and proactive approach to supporting students who have learning difficulties and disabilities. In addition to the support and monitoring that is in place for every Hayes student, the Learning Support Department makes specific support and intervention to students. The Learning Support Department is made up of a team of highly skilled support staff who work with individual students in class, as well as through withdrawal for one to one and small group work. We work in close partnership with teaching staff and external agencies including therapy services and the voluntary sector. The Learning Support room H3 is equipped with an interactive whiteboard and fully networked computers, but most importantly a team of caring and enthusiastic staff who work to support students in becoming more independent.
The interventions and provision made by Learning Support includes:
- Before school support with organising for the day from 8.00am in the Learning Support room H3
- Lunch club in H3
- Homework club every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday 3.00pm – 4.00pm in H3
- In class support
- Small group literacy support
- Spelling club
- Study skills support
- Support for completion of coursework in Year 10 & 11
- Individual support for those students who experience high levels of anxiety including those on the Autistic Spectrum.
As a Department, we are always looking to improve and develop our provision for the benefit of Hayes students.
Mrs Breen, Head of Special Educational Needs
