Sessions include morning and afternoon slots; after-school wrap includes a 3.25pm–6.00pm period with meals (lunches, tea) and a minimum of five sessions per week.

SEND Provision

Learning Support is provided across all locations with Learning Support Coordinators. In Prep School this is referred to as ‘Learning Success’. Referrals can be made by teachers or by parents, and may involve end-of-unit tests, assessments, reading and spelling scores and practice examinations. Pupils may be given specific plans (Senior School: Individual Education Support Plans; Prep School: Individual Target Plans) with targets to assist progress. Progress is regularly monitored with parental involvement and liaison. Outside agencies may be involved in some assessments. For more information see the Policy for Learning Support and the Policy for English as an Additional Language (EAL).
