Welcome to Senior Learning Success
The guiding principles and objectives of the Learning Success Department are to
ensure that our pupils reach their individual potential and have a positive self-image.
We believe that many pupils have special educational needs at some time in their
school career and we endeavour to provide the necessary support at those times.
We regard the pupils’ self-esteem to be of vital importance to their learning and
it is our job to raise their self-esteem and self belief by providing them with
success and achievement.
Aims & Curriculum
The Learning Success Department has, over the years, developed considerable expertise
teaching pupils with specific learning difficulties (dyslexia & dyspraxia), non-verbal
language difficulties, pragmatic and semantic disorders, AD(H)D and general learning
difficulties. We aim to use these labels to inform our practice, but recognise that
each child is an individual and that labels have a limited use.
At Trinity we strive to ensure that each child has access to a broad and balanced
curriculum. Where possible, in-class support is provided by a Learning Support Assistant.
For those pupils who need extra support and specialist teaching, we provide one-to-one
tuition, using multi-sensory teaching methods. All teaching staff within the department
are qualified specialists in the area of Special Educational Needs.
It is our intention that each pupil referred to the department feels well supported.
The focus of this support will change with their needs, age and learning style.
We take pains to ensure that the support is well integrated into the general curriculum.
The Learning Success Room is situated at the heart of the school and it provides
a busy and buzzing atmosphere where pupils are happy to be.
