Support at School

In this section you can find information and support if you are finding your school work or some parts of school difficult. 

 

Are you finding your school work  or some parts of school difficult? 

If you are, you can:

  • speak to your teacher 
  • tell your parents/carers
  • write down what you are finding difficult and give this to someone you trust.

Your teacher will be able to talk to you (or your parent/carer if you prefer) about the problems you are having and together you can make a plan to support you with these problems. 

 

What could this plan/ support be? 

  • a special learning programme 
  • extra help and/ or regular check-ins from a teacher or a learning support assistant
  • providing equipment or changing the types of tasks you are given in lessons
  • working in smaller groups 
  • supporting you with physical or personal care, such as eating, getting around school safely, toileting or dressing
  • advice and/or extra help from specialists. 

 

You can use this image below which is called The Yellow Brick Road to help you think about what you need as a learner.
