At Hall School Wimbledon we ensure that all pupils reach their full potential both academically and socially. We recognise that some pupils may have learning needs that require additional support, and that some children may find particular areas of the curriculum more demanding.
Our teachers are our principal resource and are responsible for delivering our curriculum at a pace and level that is appropriate for each pupil. They draw on the help and expertise of Hall School Wimbledon’s Enhanced Learning Team. Members of this team are experienced in augmenting the work of our classroom teachers to enable success for those pupils who require additional support.
At the Senior School, comprehensive screening tests are carried out on all pupils joining the school in Year 7. Any concerns arising from these tests are discussed with Senior Tutors and parents and, when necessary, further diagnostic assessments are undertaken.
Learning support offered at Hall School Wimbledon Senior School is tailored to the individual pupil and may include study skills support, classroom hints and tips, extended deadlines, or small group support in lieu of a second language.
Pupils in Years 8 to 11 will only be screened if concerns are raised by parents or teaching staff. However, parents are asked to inform the school of any previously diagnosed disability or special educational need (SEN) their child has, and provide any relevant documentation during our Registration process. The Headmaster, Principal, Senior School Enhanced Learning Co-ordinator and other relevant professionals will be consulted and will discuss the school’s ability to provide effective support. Failure by parents to disclose this information and provide relevant documents may result in the school being unable to offer adequate support.
