Learning Support

Learning Support

Ewell Castle is an inclusive school providing differentiated learning for all pupils, paying close attention to individual needs.  Our year groups have a Learning Support Assistant assigned and are placed where the needs are the greatest.   

Our team comprises Learning Support Assistants and is led by our SENCo, who is Head of Learning Support. Within the team, there is a wealth of specialist knowledge including Dyscalculia and specific learning challenges. As a team, we offer a range of interventions, including, maths, English, touch-typing, sensory circuits, and social skills. During the school day, the Learning Support Assistants will work with groups of children to support independent learning in the classroom.  

With regard to Emotional and Mental Health we have both ELSA (Emotional Literary Support Assistant) support and staff trained in Draw and Talk support. With a teacher referral, pupils can access support programmes tailored to their specific need. In addition, we have access to a peripatetic Speech and Language Therapists and Occupational Therapists.
