Welcome
Additional Learning Needs
Additional Learning Needs
Here at Ton Pentre Infants School, we are committed to offering all our pupils the opportunity to fulfil their potential. For the vast majority of our pupils, this will involve accessing Universal Learning Provision.
Universal Learning Provision
We are continually working to evaluate and strengthen our Universal Learning Provision, which includes:
- high quality whole class teaching
- effective differentiation
- guided and group work
- individual and group interventions
- appropriate reasonable adjustments to enable access to the school environment, curriculum and facilities for children and young people who are disabled.
Identifying Additional Learning Needs (ALN)
A very small number of our students may have ALN. That is a need which is significantly greater than his / her peers, which requires Additional Learning Provision (ALP) over and above what is readily available to young people within the school.
A decision as to whether a student has ALN will be based on a wide range of evidence gathered over time including:
- assessment tools and frameworks
- observational data
- progress made over time
- developmental checklists
- scaling questionnaires
- assessment from other agencies
- behavioural and social emotional questionnaires and standardised tests
For more details, please see our ALN policy.
