How do students get identified for support?

Students are identified for support through a number of different ways. Support and interventions is also a fluid process in that all interventions are tracked and reviewed. Students may access some intervention for a period of time and then change to something else or they may stop all together.

When students are being identified for intervention we look at the following:

  1. Information from school. What has been happening already? What areas for development have they indicated for a student?

  2. Feedback from teaching staff. Is there an issue in a lot of lessons? Is it just one lesson where a student in struggling?

  3. Information and concerns raised by parents

All students are discussed regularly in school through inclusion meetings with learning managers and the inclusion team and with in RAG meetings with heads of departments. This means we can try to pick up any issues quickly and put the appropriate support in place.
