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.
English as an Additional Language (EAL)
Reigate Grammar School Riyadh is a culturally and linguistically diverse community and is committed to inclusive practice that enables all students to access the curriculum and achieve their full potential. For students who are learning and studying through an additional language, the school offers a specialist English as an Additional Language (EAL) programme from Year 2 to Year 13.
The EAL programme provides targeted English language support through small, carefully structured group sessions that are responsive to individual language needs and stages of proficiency. Provision is informed by ongoing assessment and is designed to support students’ academic progress, confidence, and independence across the curriculum. EAL lessons are offered for an additional fee.
We recognise the commitment involved in bilingual education and value the partnership between school and families. Working closely with parents, subject teachers, and pastoral teams, the EAL programme supports students in settling successfully into the school community, accessing learning alongside their peers, and developing the academic English skills required for long‑term success within a British‑curriculum education.
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.
