Resource Unit
The school’s Resource Unit plays a central role in supporting pupils with learning, behavioural and physical difficulties across the year groups. Regular screenings ensure that any delay in the acquisition of literacy or numeracy is identified and addressed. Support may be offered in class, in small groups or individually, to supplement normal classroom teaching. Multi-sensory teaching forms an integral part of all RU lessons and regular staff in-service training given by the RU team ensures that all teachers in the school are aware of, and implement, such teaching methods within their own classrooms and subject areas.
If a pupil is diagnosed with a specific learning difficulty, arrangements are in place to notify all teaching staff on how best to ensure that the pupil concerned accesses the full curriculum. Individual education plans (IEPs) will be drawn up and circulated as necessary, and targets set to measure progress on an individual basis. The IEPs are reviewed regularly and targets adjusted as appropriate.
