Welcome to Curriculum Support

The Curriculum Support Department in KGS is available to all pupils. We want all children and young people to be able to get the most from the learning opportunities which are available to them so that they can realise their full potential in learning, in work, and in life.

Curriculum Support Teachers and Support for Learning Assistants teach and support a wide range of students with social and emotional difficulties, learning differences and physical difficulties, working with pupils, families and teachers to best meet their individual needs.

Examples of types of support:

  • Alternative curriculum
  • Supported teaching groups
  • Small group teaching
  • 1:1 teaching
  • Sensory curriculum
  • Transition from primary to secondary
  • Transition from secondary school
  • In-class support
  • Additional Assessment Arrangements
  • Reading Intervention
  • Dyslexia/ Dyscalculia screening
  • IT provision
  • Arranging and participating in multi-agency support meetings
  • Advising teachers of appropriate learning/ behaviour support strategies


The above list is not exhaustive.
