Learning Support

While St Albans School is academically selective, we recognise that some pupils may need additional support at times. Our Learning Support Department works with pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) to help them thrive both academically and personally.

Our aims are to:

• Identify and support neurodiverse pupils in all areas of school life.
• Help all Learning Support pupils achieve the best they can.

We understand that pupils with SEND, medical, or additional needs may find some aspects of school life more challenging. With a positive mindset, combined with the right support at home and in school, we believe every pupil
can flourish.

To meet diverse learning needs, we provide a range of support such as:

• Strategies that enable teachers to deliver effective and adaptive lessons through Quality First Teaching (QFT).
• Individual and small group support for literacy and study skills, including revision strategies and exam technique.
• Screening all new pupils for potential difficulties with literacy, handwriting and processing speed. 
• Standardised exam access arrangements assessments in line
• with the latest regulations.
