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 progress in line with their individual potential across all areas of the curriculum. Where needed, minor adaptations are made as part of quality-first teaching to ensure inclusion and access to high-quality universal provision.
