Learning Support
Helping every child reach their full potential
Children develop at different rates and Learning Support encompasses pupils across a broad spectrum, ensuring every individual has the chance to reach their full potential. Our Learning Support Department is based in the Coach House, at the heart of the school campus, and caters for a wide variety of educational needs, providing a creative and empowering environment that promotes positive approaches to learning for every child.
Our specialist Learning Support teachers are trained and experienced in supporting children with learning difficulties. Every child that visits the Coach House has an Individual Education Plan (IEP), which highlights areas of challenge and the related targets. We ensure that all relevant teaching staff are familiar with these plans so that appropriate assistance is provided in the classroom to complement the one-to-one support received in Coach House.
Should we feel a more comprehensive educational report might be of benefit to a child, we can arrange for an in-depth assessment by an extrenal Educational Psychologist. As well as helping to identify specific difficulties and interventions, this report is required for access arrangements in exams, such as extra time or having a reader and scribe.
Specific Learning Difficulties
We support children with specific learning difficulties, such as dyslexia, with tailored educational plans, specialist teachers and assistive technologies. Our personalised learning approach ensures children receive the necessary resources to enjoy their learning, build confidence and succeed academically.
English as an Additional Language
Pembroke supports English as an Additional Language with specialised online programs, in-class support and an immersive language experience. These interventions aim to improve language proficiency and integration into the school community.
Extra intervention
Should they need them, we offer each child 10 Learning Support sessions per academic term, included in the fees. Any additional lessons are charged at Ksh. 2,330 per session.
Interview coaching
We deliver interview coaching as part of each child's preparation for senior school. We also run 'Pembroke Presents' which is a regular chance for children to give a talk to their peers and helps to build confidence in public speaking.
