The department aims to support pupils with learning difficulties and differences, which hinder their educational development and prevent them from reaching their potential. Support is offered in several ways, for example, through assessments to identify needs and inform planning; support for pupils in class; withdrawal from lessons to work on programmes to develop literacy, numeracy and study skills; advice and strategies for teachers to support pupils in the classroom; and advice for parents on how to best support their son or daughter at home. In some cases, a pupil might study a reduced number of subjects in Years 10 and 11, and be timetabled in the department during these periods. The focus for these pupils is support with the organisation of homework, coursework and study skills. Additionally, teaching is offered to develop the understanding of (I)GCSE course content and examination question techniques in English, Mathematics and Science. The department values pupils as individuals and strives to instil in them responsibility, effective work habits, confidence, enthusiasm and motivation to become life- long learners. Through discussion we endeavour to build self-esteem and a sense of identity enabling them to value themselves and others, and to feel engaged in the school community.
Sherborne cannot accept pupils with special needs, since it has neither the specialist facilities nor the expertise that they would need, although it does have staff to provide support for mild learning difficulties (such as dyslexia) and English as a second language.
