Spotlight: Fostering a graduated approach to providing additional support for learning

Leaders have a secure understanding of the varying needs of pupils. They work out pupils’ needs effectively and provide a graduated level of support according to the specific needs using a pupil-centred approach. They co-ordinate beneficial interventions for phonological development, communication skills, and social and emotional development. Leaders tailor provision to ensure that pupils receive the right level of support to help them access learning. They track progress using highly effective strategies alongside a comprehensive tracking system. Leaders support colleagues to improve their practice through high quality professional learning opportunities. The school shares its good practice with other schools on behalf of the local authority.
