| Learning support offered |
Dulwich offers support that is tailored to fit the individual student, but in general ranges from individual education plans to supporting the curriculum in the classroom. Dulwich may withdraw students individually, withdraw them in groups or support them in class, depending on the most appropriate method for each student. Sometimes a student’s progress is just monitored and reviewed at a later date. The AEN Department works with class teachers in adapting aspects of the curriculum for individual student’s needs. |
