Students on the support register are allocated a ‘key worker’. This is likely to be the SENCO or another member of the Learning Support Team. The key worker, in liaison with you and your child, will write a ‘Student Passport’ which will describe your child’s needs. It will include advice for teachers on how they can support your child in class and will be distributed to your child’s teachers, tutor and head of section. A plan will be drawn up as to how your child will be best supported in school. We will have a flexible approach based on the needs and views of your child.
In Key Stage 3, your child may access additional support such as:
- Targeted support depending on individual needs (with learning support advisor/keyworker)
- Homework club
- Access arrangements (e.g. extra time) for examinations
In Key Stage 4 additional support may include:
- Mentoring by peers and teaching staff
- Targeted support depending on individual needs (with learning support advisor/key worker)

- Access arrangements for examinations
In Key Stage 5 additional support may include:
- Study support sessions
- Targeted support depending on individual needs (with learning support advisor/key worker)
- Access arrangements for A Level examinations
Your child’s progress will be monitored by their key worker and the support they access will be regularly reviewed, in agreement with you and your child. If outside agencies are involved, we will work closely with them to ensure the best outcome for your child.
