Educational Support

At Brooke Priory, we pride ourselves on fostering a supportive, inclusive, and nurturing educational environment where every child can thrive. Our philosophy is centred around the belief that each child is unique, with individual strengths, challenges, and aspirations.

 

We are committed to identifying and addressing the specific needs of children with SEND, ensuring that they receive the tailored support they need to succeed. Our SEND provision is guided by best practices and complies with the latest statutory frameworks, offering a structured and compassionate approach to inclusive education.

Our dedication to providing exceptional educational support extends to continuous professional development for our staff. Regular training sessions ensure that our team stays informed about the latest research and best practices in SEND, ELSA, and general education. This commitment to excellence enables us to offer the highest standard of care and support to our students.

To ensure that all our students reach their full potential, we offer a comprehensive range of educational support strategies.  This includes a team of highly trained and experienced Learning Support Assistants (LSA) who are passionate about inclusive education. They work to address a range of needs, including learning difficulties, sensory impairments, and social or emotional challenges. Additionally, we provide access to specialised resources, such as supportive technology, flexible seating, sensory tools, and tailored learning materials, to create an environment conducive to learning for all.  We believe that collaboration is key to effective SEND support. Our team works closely with external specialists, such as speech and language therapists, occupational therapists, and educational psychologists, to provide a holistic support system. Regular communication with parents ensures that they are actively involved in their child’s learning journey, fostering a strong partnership between home and school.

This is achieved by delivering 1:1 or small group sessions to support emotional wellbeing.  This initiative is designed to help children develop essential emotional and social skills, ensuring that they are well-equipped to navigate life’s challenges, develop coping strategies, and build resilience.

Beyond our targeted SEND and ELSA provisions, Brooke Priory embraces a holistic approach to student support. Our school’s ethos is rooted in creating a positive, inclusive environment where every child feels valued and empowered.  Our pastoral care system ensures that each child’s well-being is at the heart of our educational approach. Class teachers and LSAs maintain close relationships with their pupils, offering guidance and encouragement. Regular check-ins and an open-door policy mean that children always have someone to turn to for support.  At Brooke Priory, we are unwavering in our commitment to nurturing every child’s potential. Through our comprehensive SEND provision, dedicated ELSA program, and holistic support framework, we create an environment where all children can flourish academically, emotionally, and socially. We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to shine, and we are proud to offer the support and resources needed to make that a reality. By fostering resilience, confidence, and a love for learning, Brooke Priory empowers children to embark on a bright and successful future.

 

We recognise that it is fundamentally important that a child's emotional needs are being met in order for them to access any form of learning and therefore, we have invested in a dedicated Emotional Literacy Support Assistant (ELSA), who provides a robust ELSA program.
