ACADEMIC
A PERSONALISED approach to LEARNING
In partnership with all curriculum departments, the Learning Enhancement team at Repton Prep work to ensure that all children and young people receive a personalised approach to meet their potential and thrive, considering all their strengths and talents and regardless of any learning differences or physical challenges. We aim for there to be no barriers to success. The LE team operate through school from Nursery to Year 8 and have three key areas of focus:
- • Pupils who need additional support or guidance, whether that be short term to manage a particular challenge or those who have a specific learning difference, such as dyslexia.
- International pupils who are learning English as an additional language.
- • Pupils who have been identified as academically More Able or Exceptionally Able.
PROCESS of LEARNING SUPPORT
Our work begins at the time of application, we encourage parents to share as much information as possible about their child. This may be from their current school, including specialist reports or even be anecdotal. The more we know, the more we can personalise the child’s learning journey and ensure Repton is the best fit.
However, we recognise needs may emerge as a child travels through the school. Early identification of which is vital. Our rigorous approach to assessment, screening, observations and weekly professional dialogue with class teachers, form tutors plus senior staff ensures no child is overlooked.
Based on these detailed pupil profiles, we make recommendations on what personalised provision would be beneficial. This may be reasonable adjustments in the classroom, a short course of targeted lessons, or regular specialist timetabled sessions with a member of the Learning Enhancement team; all of which complement the quality of teaching in the classroom - building skills and confidence at all points.
