Meeting Individual Needs
Wetherby High School aims to meet the needs of all pupils in school no matter what their ability, gender, class or race. We endeavour to ensure that all those with Special Educational Needs are identified and that they receive the help and support to which they are entitled.
The school is known throughout the area for the quality of work of its Special Educational Needs team, which provides support for any student who experience learning difficulties. Some students are supported in-class through a dedicated team of Learning Support Assistants, who ensure that the students with whom they work can access the curriculum. Others may be withdrawn on a short-term basis and taught in small groups in our Learning Support Department. Care is taken to ensure appropriate support and parental involvement is encouraged. An Educational Psychologist visits the school regularly and works closely with students, parents and staff.
Learning Support Assistants and Sixth Form students give additional support through the Paired Reading Scheme, which enables students to build up reading confidence and competence.
The school also employs a learning Mentor and two Behavoural Support Workers to work with students.
