Adaptive Learning Styles
Maintaining Student Happiness & Academic Confidence
At Moorland, we prioritise the students’ happiness and wellbeing above all else. This focus requires constant care and support. Our staff also understand that students learn and develop differently. Thanks to our small class sizes and bespoke lesson plans, we balance this need for support and individual guidance through a uniquely familial school set up. SEND coordinators, teachers, teaching assistants, and support staff are all integral to nurturing development.
Student development is tracked closely through regular intervention sessions in which students receive personalised targets, based on their needs. We identify each student’s learning focus and establish a combination of visual, audio, traditional, and kinesthetic methods to engage young minds.
Junior Years
Our Junior Years system focuses on T Stage 1 and 2 development with our specialist SEND team regularly assessing students and updating lesson plans to match their needs. This allows us to offer effective tracking for intervention, support, and encouragement.
Gifted & Talented
Providing Young Minds the Best Platform to Thrive & Learn
Our team understands that every child learns at different paces and we develop learning outcomes that reinforce strength, and appeal to every child’s learning style.
Within school, we provide extra support be it academically, physically, emotionally or socially. Each child also receives a regular assessment in the form of our Rising Stars half term assessments. Analysis of this data allows teachers to identify any children who may need some support and provide assistance sooner rather than later.
Special Educational Needs
Adaptive Learning to Give All Students the Best Chance of Success
We strive to ensure all our SEND students reach their academic, social, and emotional potential. We cap class sizes to ensure every student gets the individual attention they need and admit students based on behaviour. This approach allows us to create a space where everyone feels valued and confident in their abilities to learn and grow.
Parental Involvement
Regular Updates & Trackable Learning Progress
We strongly believe that educating children is a relationship between us and parents, who receive constant feedback on their child’s development. We track SEND students’ progress through regular intervention sessions and determine personalised targets based on these needs. We also review progress every half term to locate and deal with any gaps in learning. Our pastoral and welfare teams meet regularly to discuss needs. Where necessary, we will implement intervention plans, sometimes requiring parental involvement.
All of these procedures are shared with parents through phone calls, e-mails, and other means. Every decision is transparent. Parents feel empowered in helping their child’s development. We also hold regular Parents’ Evenings, send out half-termly reports and operate with an open-door policy.
