Our Approach
Our approach at County
Learning Support at ÌÇÐÄSwag County School is a thread that runs through the whole school. Every teacher is a teacher for every student, including those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities. Quality First Teaching happens in every classroom, and reasonable adjustments are made by staff to accommodate individuals' needs. Information is shared by the Learning Support team on individual students' strengths, needs and way of working. Our team of Progress Coaches work collaboratively with teachers to ensure that adaptations are made to learning resources and environments where needed. Progress Coaches provide targeted, bespoke interventions that are outcome driven
and personalised. Our Progress Coach team also contribute to an ambitious intervention programme which enables students to make the best possible progress, whilst maintaining a broad and ambitious curriculum.
