| Summary of main barriers to learning for children |
|
We believe that all children should achieve the best they are capable of. To ensure this we spend the money on developing the skills of the staff to offer the best opportunities for learning and on helping each child to overcome any barriers that prevent them fully accessing this learning. Key barriers to learning are: · Low attainment on entry in EYFS – below Local and National · High % of EHCPs · A small but significant percentage of children with complex needs including mental health issues · Children with low levels of confidence and resilience. · Children with narrow experiences of the wider world. We have drawn many ideas for the best way to do this through research such as that of the Sutton Trust, by learning from other schools and from our own self-evaluation. |
