Cognition and Learning

Cognition and Learning - The Peak Performance Center

At Castlechurch Primary School, we are committed to meeting the needs of all pupils to ensure that they make the best possible progress.  As all children progress at different rates, there may be times when a teacher feels a child would benefit from an intervention group, which would be in addition to every day quality teaching.  Learning may also be specifically tailored to your child’s needs to ensure they are able to engage, develop independence and make progress at their own rate. Personal Learning Plans (PLPs) or Targeted Strategy Plans (TSP) will be devised in conjunction with parents/carers and any involved agencies which outline supportive strategies. These adjustments may be made across all subject areas or specific to:

  • Reading
  • Phonics
  • Writing
  • Number skills
  • Working memory
  • Concentration and engagement
  • Organisation

 

At Castlechurch, we take a ‘graduated response’ to identifying and addressing cognition and learning needs. Please click on the link below to view our cognition and learning graduated response document.
