Learning Support
Closing The Gap
All students her at Grace Academy Solihull have the right to access all of the learning offered. There are occasions when students have certain barriers to their learning such as:
| A Specific Medical Disability | An Educational Need |
| Social And Emotional difficulties | Bereavement Issues |
| Developmental Needs |
We work hard to differentiate the learning within lessons to overcome these barriers so students have the same learning experience as children without additional needs. However from time to time some students need a little extra help, this is given to them through their Learning Mentors and the Da Vinci Centre.
Da Vinci Centre
The Da Vinci Centre is situated on the ground floor at Grace Academy Solihull and is a hub of specialists who work together to support students both in and out of the classroom. Below are a number of support procedures that are carried out:
| TA Support Within Lessons | Key Workers- used to link the learning to the child and the home |
| External Support can be sourced to help the student | Testing of students needs with specific initiatives given |
| Measuring the impact of support given | Statement processes are carried out when needed |
| Literacy and Numeracy packages put in place for students who need it | Advice given to staff and parents on how to support students |
| Creation of resources to help support students |
