| The school places a high priority on the need to provide the best possible support for pupils with special educational needs: we wish to ensure that no boy's academic progress is held back by any kind of learning difficulty.
Pupils are screened in years 5, 7 and 9. Some boys are referred for further testing in school. In addition, there is provision for assessment by a visiting Educational Psychologist, Mr John Noble.
Once an assessment has been made, a boy may receive additional one-to one teaching sessions for as long as it is considered necessary. Support and help is also given to boys with learning difficulties by specialist subject teachers in the school and can also be arranged with outside agencies. An Individual Education Plan is drawn up for all pupils on the Learning Support roll which enables the tutor and teachers to provide the necessary support and help.
