Learning Support Mentoring Programme

At Crumlin Integrated College, we are committed to ensuring that every student develops the essential literacy and numeracy skills necessary for academic success and future life opportunities. To support this goal, we provide additional literacy and numeracy sessions that offer targeted intervention for students who require extra support to meet key benchmarks.

These extra sessions are carefully designed to provide a focused, personalised approach to learning. Delivered by our highly trained Learning Support Teachers, who include specialists with training through the British Dyslexia Association’s Specialist Dyslexia programme. Students receive targeted 1:1 and small group interventions. These interventions work on the core components of literacy, such as decoding, fluency, comprehension, and writing skills. In numeracy, students focus on critical areas like number sense, problem-solving, and mathematical reasoning.

Our team’s expertise, particularly in working with students who have specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia, ensures that interventions are tailored to meet each individual’s unique needs. These additional sessions are available to pupils who would benefit from more intensive support outside of regular lesson time, providing the focused attention needed to build confidence and close any gaps in learning.

The collaboration between our skilled SEN team and classroom teachers ensures that progress is continually monitored, and interventions are adjusted as necessary to maximise student outcomes. The goal of these interventions is to raise standards in literacy and numeracy, enabling students to access the broader curriculum more effectively and participate fully in their education. By providing this targeted, additional support, we help ensure that every student, regardless of starting point, has the tools they need to thrive both in school and in their future endeavors.
