SUPPORT FOR PARENTS
Intervention and Tuition
I provide a wide range of services to children and their families, including specialist interventions and academic tuition for students in KS2 and KS3 who need extra support outside the classroom to help boost their confidence, progress and understanding.
Tuition is often over a longer period of time and has a broad focus on a curriculum subject, for example mathematics. Tutors work alongside the curriculum being taught in schools, addressing the child’s misconceptions, supporting them to understand and providing additional practice. This generally supports the child’s overall achievement in the subject.
Intervention is targeted at achieving on one or two specific skills. Students are taught over a period of 6-12 weeks using well researched interventions or being taught individualised and specialised programs.
Workshops and Advice
We offer parents workshops and information on a variety of SEN needs, helping parents to gain further knowledge about how their child learns and how to maybe able to support them. Examples of workshops and 1:1 information sessions available to parents includes: –
- Understanding the basics of your child’s SEN in an educational context
- Workshops on the new SEN code of practice,
- Communication skills and your verbal child with ASD
- How to help your child with Dyslexia or literacy difficulties with spellings
Access Arrangements Assessments are completed in agreement with your child’s school. They are pre-examination adjustments for examination candidates based on evidence of need and normal way of working. Access Arrangements allow candidates/learners with special educational needs, disabilities or temporary injuries to access the assessment without changing the demands of the assessment. For example, readers, scribes and Braille question papers. In this way Awarding Bodies will comply with the duty of the Equality Act 2010 to make ‘reasonable adjustments’.
