Learning support

Every learner gets the support they need

The process

How an accommodation actually gets granted

01
Raise it, any time

Talk to us as soon as you suspect your child needs support: there’s no wrong time to start the conversation.

02
Formal assessment

A full assessment by an educational psychologist establishes exactly what accommodation fits, using the IEB’s required tests.

03
IEB review

The application goes to the IEB’s own accommodations panel, who confirm what’s granted: typically within around 12 weeks.

What can be accommodated

Common accommodations

Extra time

Additional time in exams for students whose barrier to learning is documented and assessed.

Reader / scribe

Support for students with conditions such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, or a physical impairment.

Computer use

For students whose handwriting is a genuine barrier to demonstrating what they know.

Separate venue

A distraction-free environment for students who need it to perform at their real level.

Braille & enlarged text

For visually impaired candidates, as provided for under IEB policy.

Assistive technology

Where a formal assessment supports it as part of the accommodation granted.
