Questions to ask the school
- Is an educational psychologist on staff or available by referral?
- What level of English is required for entry, and what EAL/ESL support is provided for a child still learning English?
- 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?
- Is learning support guaranteed for the full enrolment, or can it be withdrawn later?

Learning Support programmes support pupils who need a little extra assistance to help them fully access the curriculum. Specialist teachers and Learning Support Assistants work closely with class and subject teachers to devise a programme to suit the individual child. Sometimes support is only required for a short time; in other instances, assistance can be on-going over an extended period. Pupils felt to be underachieving for any reason are also routinely assessed by the Learning Support Department.
