Learning Support Department
What is our goal?
At Methodist College, we strive to provide the highest possible standard of support for pupils with special needs. The Learning Support Department consists of a number of staff including our Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator (SENCO), SEN Tutor, Learning Support Mentors, Classroom and General Assistants and an on-site Sister.
The Learning Support Team
Our aim is to care for each pupil’s specific requirements; these include educational, physical, behavioural, emotional and social needs. Each pupil is assigned a Learning Support Mentor or a Classroom or General Assistant whose job is to make the child feel included, comfortable and happy within the school environment, and to help them with any problems that may arise throughout the school day.
This year Mrs N Gallagher, Dr S Anderson and Mrs C Booth completed the SENCO Development Course run by BELB/SEELB. Dr S Anderson and Mrs C Booth (SENCO Downey House) attended the graduation ceremony recently at BELB, along with Mr A Jennings (Headmaster of Preparatory Schools) where they were presented with their certificates.
