LVS Ascot Infant and Junior School Open Morning

At LVS Ascot Infant and Junior School, Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) support is managed by a dedicated whole-school Neurodiversity team operating within a non-selective, all-ability mainstream environment. The school actively identifies and monitors a sizable cohort of pupils with mild-to-moderate learning differences—such as dyslexia, dyspraxia, and ADHD—utilising early literacy tracking, baseline screenings, and staff feedback to build a clear understanding of each child’s learning profile. The foundational strategy focuses on empowering class teachers through continuous professional training to deliver effective, differentiated instruction directly within the standard classroom. Backed by extensive pastoral care—including access to a pediatric-trained school counselor and an Emotional Literacy Support Assistant (ELSA) to navigate big emotions—the department prioritises building resilience, self-awareness, and confidence, using assistive learning technology to ensure that neurodivergent pupils develop the independent learning skills needed for a seamless internal transition to the Senior School.
