Additional Learning Needs (ALN)

At Minera VA School, we are very proud of the offering and support we put in place for our pupils and their families regarding all aspects of  Inclusion. Our Inclusion offering encompasses all aspects of Additional Learning Needs and Inclusion and is overseen by our Spencer Williams who is our Additional Needs Learning Co-ordinator (ALNCO). 

As a school, we work with wider agencies to identify Additional Learning Needs and then put in place plans and packages of support to help meet these needs, giving all pupils the platform to reach their potential.

 Our offering for Additional Learning Needs and Inclusion is a wide and diverse one. As part of the graduated response, we implement support at a universal and targeted universal level and through additional learning needs provision. The support that we provide for pupils relating to cognition and learning, social and communication needs, emotional, social and behavioural needs and physical and medical needs are all part of this offering. In addition, the support we provide for Looked After Children (LAC) and for pupils who have English as an Additional Language (EAL) in also included within this portfolio.

Should you have any questions or queries regarding Additional Learning Needs provision at school, please do not hesitate to contact Mr Williams.
