FACILITIES AND STAFFING

The Additional Needs Team supports students with a wide range of needs thoughout the School.  In accordance with the School's aim to be a fully inclusive community, we are able to provide support for students with specific and moderate learning challenges.

The Additional Needs Team is led by the Assistant Headteacher - Inclusion, who looks at the needs of the students as they enter our school and supports the progress and development of students as they advance through school.  The Assistant Headteacher - Inclusion leads a teacher and a group of fully trained and experienced Learning Support Assistants who work with the students in a variety of contexts.

Special Needs Resource Base Programmes are run alongside Monmouthshire Local Authority to meet the needs of learners with complex ASD, speech, language and communication difficulties, physical and medical difficulties and severe learning difficulties.  Individualised programmes of learning are developed with parents, the learner and other profesisonals, to mee individual needs.

Students with additional needs are taught mainly within mainstream classes.  We recognise that students develop and learn when they feel comfortable, valued and safe.  Therefore, a number of provisions are available, dependant upon the needs of individual students.
