Diverse Learning

At St. Michael School, we recognise that each child is unique, and has his or her own specific needs, and so, we have built a highly qualified in-house Diverse Learning Team to ensure that all our students are being fully supported.

Enhancing Academic and Emotional Well-being

This team is composed of Inclusion Coordinators (INCos), dyslexia specialists, a therapeutic play practitioner, a speech therapist, an occupational therapist, a behaviour therapist, an educational psychologist, Learning Support Educators (LSEs) as well as support teachers, who work closely with the class teachers, the pastoral care team and parents to equip students with personalised tools and strategies that are required for their academic, social and emotional well-being and success.

The team works closely together and liaises with parents to create an Individualised Education Programme (IEP) for students who have a statement of support, to ensure that attainable goals are being set and worked towards, and progress is being monitored. In the School’s ongoing pursuit to meet students’ changing needs, sensory rooms have also been set up for students who may need personalised sensory input.

Comprehensive Support

Further to this inclusive learning team, we have also built a pastoral care team to ensure the social and emotional well-being of our students. This team is composed of a clinical psychologist, counsellors, and personal, social and career development (PSCD) guidance teachers. This team monitors students who need extra support and offers one-to-one sessions where required.

We also have two school nurses who do their best to look after the school community, as well as school chaplains who serve the spiritual needs of the School.

Our goal is for the whole team, together with the respective parents/guardians, to work together to reach every individual child, and guide them towards attaining their own personal best.
