Exceptional Needs
What is the Exceptional Needs Department?
The Exceptional Needs Department offers a bespoke approach operating through the growth zone that aims to:
Build positive relationships with students in relation to their education and life.
Improve the social, cognitive, and fine motor skill development of students.
Provide individualised strategies to ensure continued growth and success during a student’s time at Egerton.
We focus on understanding and challenging the difficulties faced by our students: Pursuing win-win outcomes alongside unique approaches with a vision to improve student outcomes. We understand that each student as an individual is unique, and their needs are complex.
As such our systems provide an opportunity for students to explore their challenges to create robust and flexible strategies that can be utilized when returning to main body.
Students within Exceptional Needs still complete all Main body curriculum lessons, with the added benefit of Interventions that aim to improve identified targets. We do not expect or assume perfection, instead aim to develop each student with consistency, self-regulation and to build their confidence in line with school values.
