River Tees Multi Academy Trust

River Tees Multi Academy Trust offers a curriculum that is personalised to each learner's individual needs. A rigorous assessment process is used to identify the appropriate curriculum offer based on predictions from prior attainment and the outcome of a range of initial assessments completed within the Assessment Unit. In Key Stages 1, 2 ad 3 pupi... ls access a broad and balanced curriculum offer in line with national requirements. In Key Stage 4 a range of courses leading to GCSE and other qualifications are available. Learners receive additional support for literacy, numeracy and additional learning needs. Learners are set challenging aspirational targets. These targets are reviewed regularly and suitable interventions are agreed to support individual progress. Each learner is set a number of targets in literacy, numeracy and behaviour each term according to individual performance. these are discussed and agreed between the learner and their teachers. Progress towards achieving the targets set is closely monitored by the staff both during informal monitoring in lessons and by results of formal tests given. Learners are kept informed of their progress and targets may be revised where appropriate. Children or young people with particular learning difficulties or other special needs can benefit from specialist help. This may be because they experience particular learning difficulties. Any specialist help is given in the classroom, there can be occasions when individual or small group work is appropriate. For some children the school may need to involve other specialists, in a formal assessment of special educational needs. When this happens, there is always prior consultation with parents, who are involved in all assessment procedures. Parents are always regularly consulted and kept informed of their child's progress. Learners who have statements of Special Educational Needs have individual learning programmes taking account ot their needs and the strategies needed to address them.Read More
