Learning Support

We have a strong Learning Support department comprising three qualified teachers and two assistants. The department offers support in literacy and numeracy and will arrange assessments, where necessary, to determine a boy's strengths and weaknesses.
An individualised teaching programme is then devised, appropriate to the child's age and stage of development. Boys are withdrawn from non-core lessons on a rotational basis and, where possible, taught during rest periods and break times.

EAL pupils are assessed on entry or at prior interview to determine their level of spoken and written English. 1:1 EAL tuition is arranged and continues until a boy is able to follow independently the classroom curriculum and integrate fully into life at Ludgrove. Pupils may also be prepared for external English proficiency exams.
