Special Needs & Special Abilities

Some children require additional help or extension work. The school leadership team and our Special Needs Teacher co-ordinates programmes for these children. We have experience with assisting children through a wide range of programmes. These include:

Reading Recovery
Literacy Interventions
Short term support programmes in Literacy & Numeracy
English for speakers of other language (ESOL) programmes
Monitoring and supporting children with behavioural problems
Monitoring and supporting for children who are often absent from school without a good reason

We also cater for children’s needs by offering extension and enrichment programmes. We employ specialised staff to provide these programmes.

Gifted & Talented

A gifted and talented programme is available to students at school.

It involves

Attending various events
Completing and competing in competitions
Working to an accelerated curriculum
Specialist groups such as extension writing groups

Speech Therapist

Speech Therapist

Our school is served by a Speech Language Therapist, who we contact through the Ministry of Education. The teachers of our 5-6 year old children are trained to evaluate your child’s speech and to make referrals.
