Inclusion Department
Inclusion Department – Information for Families
Our Inclusion Department offers two key provisions: Learning Support (LS) and Enhanced Provision (EP) Classes. Together, these services ensure that students with diverse learning profiles can access high-quality education in a safe and supportive setting.
Learning Support (LS)
Learning Support provides in-class assistance for students with identified learning differences or disabilities that affect access to the mainstream curriculum. Support is delivered by Learning Support Assistants (LSAs), who work closely with class teachers to adapt teaching, provide interventions, and help students engage meaningfully with their learning. Depending on individual needs, support may include 1:1 guidance, small-group interventions, or curriculum adjustments.
Enhanced Provision (EP) Classes
Enhanced Provision supports neurodivergent students whose needs require more individualised teaching. EP classrooms provide small-group, tailored lessons that address academic, social, and developmental goals, while also integrating students into mainstream settings for specialist subjects such as Music or Art. Where appropriate, students may transition into full mainstream learning with the support of a shadow teacher.
A Tiered Model of Support
RGSR follows a three-tiered framework to ensure the right level of support for each learner:
Tier 1 – Universal Support: Inclusive teaching and reasonable accommodation available to all students in mainstream classrooms.
Tier 2 – Targeted Support: Small-group or short-term interventions to address specific skill areas, in partnership with teachers.
Tier 3 – Intensive Support: Individualised programmes delivered as 1:1 LS or placement in EP classes depending on the student’s needs Provision is guided by an Individual Education Plan (IEP) and close collaboration between families, teachers, and specialists.
Every placement decision is guided by the student’s best interests and the school’s ability to provide meaningful, high-quality support.
