If pupils have additional learning needs they are offered additional support from the ALN department.
At Cynffig we follow a graduated response when offering additional support. Pupils’ academic scores from specific literacy and numeracy assessments are considered along with in class observations.
Pupils are provided with a learning profile which highlights their strengths, what is important to them and how best staff can support them.
We offer a range of targeted curriculum interventions to support pupils in areas such as reading, mathematics, and language development. Pupils are identified through a combination of assessment data and classroom observations by teachers. These interventions are delivered by our dedicated Curriculum Support Workers in structured one-hour sessions, ensuring focused and effective support tailored to individual needs.
Pupils who receive additional literacy and numeracy support will have access to Nessy, an online reading, spelling and number programme.
