- Can you support a child with my child's specific need (e.g. dyslexia, ADHD, autism), and have you done so this year? Ask for concrete examples.
- Is there an additional fee for learning support or EAL — and how much per year?

The Individual Needs Department engages with children in a caring, nurturing and supportive environment giving them the confidence to 'have a go' at areas they find difficult. The main focus of the department’s work is to ensure that the child becomes as independent as possible in his learning, and less reliant on the intervention of adults. A second major theme of the department’s work is to raise literacy standards, particularly in writing and reading comprehension, which are crucial to long-term success.
The ‘Individual Needs Department’ (IND) supports and encourages every child to ensure he has access to a curriculum that meets his individual needs. ‘Individual Needs’ refers to students with Special Educational Needs (SEN).
