Peponi House believes in the early identification of pupils with individual learning difficulties so that appropriate high quality intervention can begin in order to maximise the pupils’ learning within the mainstream environment. The teachers in the department support pupils through differentiation within the classroom and where needed short term intervention programmes are delivered by specialist SEND teachers. Our approach focuses on ensuring pupils have the skills they need to be independent learners in the mainstream curriculum.
The Learning Support Department Lessons are carefully planned and are generally accessible to all.
