Intervention
Groups
We run Intervention Groups within the Inclusion Base in order to provide support to learners who require additional development alongside their mainstream lessons. Our intervention is mapped out according to individual learner need and is based on early assessments and observations of learners to determine the most suitable provision for them. We welcome parental views and encourage parents to talk to us about their children’s needs and aspirations for the future.
Intervention Model

Key Stage 3 Intervention |
||
|---|---|---|
| Literacy for All - Lexia | Years 7, 8 and 9 |
Literacy for All - Lexia Withdrawal from Modern Foreign Languages for students who require additional intervention to develop literacy skills. Lexia is a personalised, computer-based intervention designed to support the development of foundational literacy skills. The programme delivers adaptive, structured phonics and reading practice, targeting areas such as phonological awareness, decoding, sight vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension.
Students work at their own pace with tasks automatically adjusting to their level of need. Staff monitor progress through built-in assessment and provide short, targeted teacher-led interventions when the programme highlights skill gaps or areas requiring consolidation. Regular sessions help build automaticity, confidence, and independence in reading. |

The ASDAN qualification offers a flexible, skills-based programmes designed to support learners in developing personal, social, employability and life skills. Delivered through modular units and coursework/portfolio assessment, ASDAN supports students who benefit from an alternative or complementary curriculum to traditional GCSEs. It enables students to gain recognition for their progress, build confidence and apply learning in real-life contexts including teamwork, problem-solving, self-management, communication and transitions to further study or employment.
Evidence based interventions such as ELSA, Brick Club, Handwriting, Typing and Drawing and Talking are accessible on a short-term basis for identified students. |
outdoor learning
Outdoor Learning provides students with opportunities to engage in meaningful learning experiences outside the traditional classroom environment. It uses natural and outdoor spaces in the school grounds to support personal development, academic learning and wellbeing.
Learning activities are purposeful and structured, and may include problem-solving challenges, environmental studies, teamwork tasks, practical life skills, physical activity and reflective tasks linked to the curriculum.
Outdoor Learning encourages curiosity, resilience and independence by allowing students to experience real-world contexts, hands-on tasks and sensory rich environments.
The approach is designed to enhance engagement, motivation and confidence, while supporting social interaction, emotional regulation and a sense of achievement.
Outdoor Learning can be used to complement subjects such as science, geography, PSHE, physical education and environmental studies, as well as support targeted interventions for students who benefit from alternative learning methods.
