Learning support
Milton Abbey describes learning support as part of every lesson rather than an occasional withdrawal session. Its Learning Development Department, which includes specialist teachers in mathematics, science and English, works with all students and staff: it helps pupils understand their own learning profile, teaches research-based strategies, runs individual and small-group sessions so that everyone can access the curriculum, and offers drop-in help with independent study. The school notes that most of its students have identified learning challenges such as dyslexia, dyscalculia or dysgraphia, and the department also provides English as an Additional Language lessons and advice for parents. Teachers from the department visit classrooms to advise colleagues on making each lesson work for each student, and able pupils are also given chances to be stretched beyond the curriculum.
