Curriculum Support

We are fortunate to have a curriculum support teacher who withdraws children for extra support in literacy and numeracy. These children have been identified through testing and teacher opinion as needing some support in a particular area of the curriculum and are then withdrawn from class 1-1 or in small group. This is hugely beneficial to children as they can revise and consolidate class teaching in a quieter environment.
