Learning Support

Learning Support

We aim to build confidence in every child who is experiencing any difficulty and to recognise they are a valued member of our community.

The Learning Support Coordinator, after discussion with staff and parents, will carry out an informal assessment to identify the child's strengths and weaknesses. Children may then be taught in groups or in individual lessons, depending on the need. In some instances an outside expert such as an Educational Psychologist or Speech and Language Therapist, may be brought in to further assess some children. We are very fortunate at Dunannie to have access to some extremely experienced and caring specialists.

The Learning Support Room is close to the main school classrooms and so children and teachers alike can easily access the expertise and extensive resources. It is a child friendly room with a comfortable and cheerful atmosphere, as it is important the children are relaxed and happy there. The children are encouraged to make decisions about their learning. They are also encouraged to understand and use their own learning styles. They are taught skills and strategies to support their learning.

There is an additional charge for individual learning support lessons.
