The 4 stages
Universal: The majority of our students will thrive and progress at the universal stage.
Monitoring: Students demonstrate emerging concerns in some characteristics and may need minimally enhanced intervention.
Targeted: Students require targeted interventions and plans to support progress in various characteristics.
Specialist: Students require specialist bespoke support and involvement from external agencies across various characteristics.
If a student experiences barriers within their learning journey, they might struggle to find a sense of belonging. These barriers might be through a particular educational need or neurodivergence.
It is our duty as a Trust to ensure our schools follow a graduated approach to ensure adaptive strategies and provisions are in place to enable the barriers to be broken down.
This stage describes students who are making less than expected progress in one or more areas of the curriculum, and may need enhanced adaptations and intervention to address gaps in their learning and ensure engagement.
Our expectations for each role at this stage are:
Continue to attend lessons and engage well in all classroom activities. Be open with teachers about areas that you are finding a challenge so that you can be supported with strategies to help. Actively engage with any interventions and take the learning back into the classroom. Complete any homework requirements.
Ask for help when needed.
Maintain good communication with school and your child’s teachers. Support your child with any homework requirements and help your child see the value in making the effort. Take an active interest in your child’s journey through school. Work with school to help your child see the value in interventions proposed.
Create positive inclusive classrooms. Ensure engaging quality first teaching across all lessons using the school’s provision documents for advice on adaptations at a targeted level. Engage with families so that they can provide support for any homework/learning. Deliver high-quality early interventions to address minor concerns and gaps.
Share further CPD for schools.
