(EAL) Our teachers are experienced in helping students with EAL needs ensuring that their requirements are catered for in a caring and supportive way. The aim of EAL support is to enable students to access the curriculum in English. For younger EAL students the general practice is complete immersion in the class, with the EAL teacher monitoring the student’s progress. For older EAL students the EAL teacher uses a combination of inclusion and withdrawal strategies to support the learner. The assistant teachers support the EAL teacher in achieving this strategy. Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) The Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) Department offers support internally for a wide range of learning needs. To ensure a student’s progress, it is sometimes necessary to have their needs assessed by external professionals or for the level of support offered internally at BISU to be supplemented externally. Our SEND Department has good links with specialists in Kiev and can provide you with the necessary information to make contact with them. It is an expectation of the school that parents will do all they can to support their child’s learning and that they see the SEN Department as a partner in this process. An IEP is drawn up for all students who receive SEND Support (Special Educational Needs and Disability). In order for learning support to be effective, staff with SEN responsibility, guide the child carefully in setting his/her own goals and strategies. All students at some time will require additional support. The SEND Coordinator may directly assist students with classroom or single subject learning and will work with Assistant Teachers to implement any in-class support. In consultation with parents, teachers and the SEND Coordinator, individual students may receive academic assistance as an alternative to additional languages. The programme’s primary intent is literacy support, but this may be adapted to accommodate group or individual needs.
