Young people with every type of need are supported at our school and we are dedicated to ensure the best possible education for all who that come here. We make our best efforts to ensure that every child in our school makes excellent progress and is ready to take their place in society.

Quality first teaching:

In lesson support: Support is offered to all key stages and is tailored to meet the needs of the individual. In-class support ensures all pupils can access the curriculum and learning support assistants are used effectively in our classrooms to improve learning outcomes. 

Interventions

The SEND Department runs a range of thirty-minute interventions that take place during morning registration. Targeted pupils are offered short courses to meet individual needs that have been identified by teachers or assessments. Different reading groups focus either on reading fluency or comprehension, or offer extra curriculum support. Further interventions include literacy and numeracy programmes, social skills programmes, in-class support, touch typing, speech and Language programmes, after school support with lesson prep and homework, Extra-curricular clubs and Craft Therapy.

  • SEN Book Club is for pupils to develop an interest in reading and to promote reading fluency.
  • Tapestry Club and Knitting Club are for pupils from all year groups to relax, learn a new skill and chat.

Support for Pupils

Support is offered to all key stages and is tailored to meet the needs of the individual. In-class support ensures all pupils can access the curriculum and learning support assistants are used effectively in our classrooms to improve learning outcomes. In Year 7 we run Accelerated reader interventions to boost reading skills and one-to-one Literacy Catch Up to improve literacy levels for targeted pupils. From Year 9-11, they can choose Option Support as one of their options. This includes studying for ASDAN, a life-skills qualification recognised by employers, with bronze, silver and gold awards.

Homework Club:

All pupils are invited to attend homework club. This takes place after school on Wednesday and Thursdays and is staffed by the librarian and TAs.

Pupils have an opportunity to catch up on outstanding homework and coursework and can also be able to ask for help from teachers in an environment where they feel relaxed and comfortable. The clubs are held in the schools' Learning Resource Centre so that the girls are able to type up work and use the internet for research

Speech and Language

The EWS SEN Department has entered into the Ealing Borough Speech and Language Therapy (SALT) Scheme with an external specialist provider. This means that a therapist will be in school for 15 days during the year and will deliver training to all staff. There will also be a group and one-to-one sessions available to selected students.

Interested parents can contact Ms Gardner to discuss further on 020 8752 1525.

Medical Care Plans

Please provide the school with sufficient and up-to-date information if your child has any medical needs that we do not already know about. We will contact you directly regarding the development or review of their individual healthcare plan if one is needed. Please contact Ms Rice the school SENCO if you have any queries.

Complaints from Parents with SEND needs.

In the first instance, concerns should be raised with the school SENCO Ms Rice or Ms Gardner and thereafter with Ms Johnson, Deputy Head.  If unresolved, parents are advised to use the school complaints procedure.
