Nurturing personal excellence through learning enrichment
At Abbey Gate College we place the child at the centre of all we do. The Learning Enrichment department aims to ensure that our students have the opportunity to unlock and fulfil their potential.
We understand the complexities of Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLDs) and how students may learn in different ways from their peers. Subject teachers share the responsibility for supporting students with learning differences and we strive to remove potential barriers to learning. All students are educated in small classes, and students with SpLD’s receive support through differentiated teaching and learning opportunities.
Additional assistance maybe available for students with dyslexia, provided by experienced specialist teachers.
Learning Enrichment lessons may incorporate the development of:
- Literacy skills
- Study skills
- Revision strategies
- Exam technique
- Dyslexia strategies
We place high emphasis on using multi-sensory strategies for learning. We help students appreciate and develop their individual learning styles, encouraging them to identify their strengths and to look for opportunities to shine.
Ultimately we aim to make the learning experience enjoyable, while developing successful, independent learners.
