Specialist Interventions
If lessons are required, then an appropriate time and start date will be decided, and the intervention will begin. Lessons are on-going and held on a weekly basis – the unit teaches in groups of two.
Progress reports are provided twice yearly. There is a shorter report at the end of the Autumn term, and a longer, more detailed report in July, just before the summer break.
