Supporting Children's Needs

SEND

Each class has access to teaching assistants to support children in the classroom setting, for 1 to 1 work or specialist interventions. Interventions to support children at Eckington CE First School include Plus one and Power of 2 maths support, Pindora's box, Jimbo fun, guided reading groups, writing support and other support structures for individual needs.

More Able

Following school policy, all classroom teaching staff have identified children that are working at a greater depth through our assessments, planning and observations. These children are identified as more able and are given targeted challenge through tasks, comprehension, problem solving and other activities.
