Access, Inclusion and Mentoring (AIM)
Our Access, Inclusion and Mentoring (AIM) Department is completely focused on neurodiversity, other disabilities and hidden differences and works alongside all other departments.
AIM
Our Access, Inclusion and Mentoring (AIM) Department is completely focused on neurodiversity, other disabilities and hidden differences and works alongside all departments and the established mentoring that goes on throughout the school by Heads of House and with the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Executive.
We have an extremely well qualified and experienced small team of Specialist Teacher Assessors, who hold current practising certificates. They can run interventions and carry out short investigative assessments. Where the pupil has a learning difference, and in line with the JCQ regulations, they carry out all assessments for access arrangements at GCSE and A level
Any member of staff, parent/carer can refer a pupil to the department for further investigation if there is a suspected learning difference. Pupils can also self-refer. Information to support the referral will be collected from the following:
Exam and test results
The screening tool we use in Years 7, 9 and 12 (Lucid Exact)
Subject teachers
Heads of house and heads of year.
If there is evidence to support the referral and following consultation with parents/carers a member of the AIM team will run a few processing speed tests on the pupil to see if further investigation by a relevant professional would be advisable.
Alleyn’s promotes quality first teaching. Every teacher in every classroom is responsible for the progress of each and every pupil. If a pupil has been identified as having a learning difference, an AIM plan that includes adaptive teaching suggestions and strategies will be devised and shared with all teaching staff.
If a pupil needs additional support a number of interventions will be considered including:
Individual support by subject teachers
Specialist teacher intervention
Head of House mentoring
Peer to peer mentoring
Small group study skills sessions
The Network is a lunchtime club for students who identify as being neurodivergent or have a hidden difference. Every other week, pupils gather to discuss a pre-agreed topic and raise anything else they have on their minds. The club aims to offer peer to peer support and raise awareness and acceptance of neurodiversity in the school. We also have a great selection of games available.
