Welcome to the Student Support Faculty

Our Student Support faculty provides additional assistance for literacy ranging from years 7 to 11 and for behaviour in years 7 and 8. The ethos of our faculty is to provide committed and personalised support to every child whatever the difficulty. Social, emotional, personal and academic developments are at the centre of our efforts to ensure that every child reaches their full potential. It is our aim to ensure that all children in our care know that they matter. Students are welcomed before school time begins and during break times to socialise, play games, receive help with homework and eat together if they wish. Within the department we provide positive play which is designed to support students who lack self esteem or who are having emotional issues either at home or at school. We also operate a nurture programme for year 6 students to enable a smooth transition from primary to secondary education at John Port School.
