Learning Support

Department head: Fleur Campbell

We believe that all children have the right to a broad and balanced education at Windlesham. The Learning Support department aims to offer support to those who are having difficulty acquiring basic skills in literacy and maths and to help foster positive and constructive attitudes towards learning through the teaching of Study Skills.

The department works to boost the child’s self esteem and self confidence and to capitalise on and increase the child’s strengths, as well as remediating areas of weakness.

We carry out assessments and diagnostic tests and have close contact with other educational and health-related professionals if more information and guidance is needed.

We have a well resourced department with fully qualified specialist teachers who take an active part in the school community and who work closely with the subject teachers and pastoral staff to support their pupils in all aspects of school life. The Learning Support teachers all work to help identify the child’s preferred learning style and to support them emotionally in areas which they find difficult.

The Learning Support team enjoys working with and alongside the subject teachers to support their pupils and to help them gain access to all aspects of the curriculum. We love to see the children develop into confident student who understand their areas of difficulty and know how to develop strategies to compensate for and overcome certain weaknesses.
