Learning Support

Elthorne Park High School believes that every student is entitled to a broad and balanced education whatever their ability and educational needs.

As a fully inclusive school we are committed to providing personalised, differentiated learning so that the needs of all students are addressed, and their potential fulfilled. The whole school inclusive approach means that supporting students with additional needs is the responsibility of all subject teachers in partnership with the SEND Department and Pastoral team.

The department for education has recognised four types of Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) in the SEND Code of Practice 2014 Sec 6.28:

Four Types of SEND (SEND Code of Practice 2014):

  1. Communication and interaction

  2. Cognition and learning

  3. Social, mental and emotional health

  4. Sensory or physical

As a school we will sometimes commission other professionals to help us meet an individual child’s needs in school or we may need to recruit staff or buy specialist equipment in order to support a child with SEN. 

The Local Offer

The Local Offer sets out the support and services available for children and young people (aged 0–25) with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) in Ealing. It helps families understand what’s available locally and improves choice and transparency.

The Local Offer is part of the SEND reforms under the Children and Families Act 2014.

Alternative Resource Provision

Elthorne Park High School’s Additional Resource Provision (ARP) is an inclusive provision which caters for up to 27 children from Year 7 to Year 11, across Key Stages 3 and 4.

The ARP supports students with Speech, Language & Communication Needs (SLCN) with a specific diagnosis of Development Language Disorder.

All pupils must have an EHCP detailing their speech/language difficulties to be eligible. Students follow a highly tailored Key Stage 3 curriculum preparing them for the Elthorne Park ARP Certification (EPAC) at Key Stage 4.

Admission of EHCP students is via commissioned places through the local authority. 

For further information, please see the ARP Entry/Exit Criteria document.
