Additional Educational Needs at Halcyon

Halcyon’s admissions policy asks that all students have a strong academic background to manage the needs of a challenging IB curriculum.

Within that framework, we are resourced to provide accommodations for a range of frequently occurring additional needs for neurodivergent learners. We also provide a counselling service for those with social, emotional and mental health needs.  

We believe in drawing out the unique potential of each student, and it is a part of our mission to unlock that potential through personalised educational approaches and support frameworks within our school. We are committed to creating an inclusive learning environment that supports the diverse needs of all of our students. To achieve Halcyon’s vision of an excellent IB education, every child is encouraged to participate fully in all aspects of school life: we provide a safe and welcoming environment where every child can grow and all contributions are valued and respected. Our additional educational needs provision is an integral part of this classroom practice.
 

Our Provision

The primary methods of support provided by Halcyon include:

Supporting students is a collective responsibility across the whole school. We invest in ongoing professional development for our teachers, ensuring they have the skills and knowledge to implement inclusive teaching strategies and understand the needs of students with additional needs.

When you apply for admission to our school please be sure to provide information about any additional educational needs in the application form.

OUR LEARNING COACH

Jesi Rosati

jrosati@halcyonschool.com

I am exceptionally proud of the Learning Support programme that has been built from the ground up here at Halcyon and I am passionate about supporting students and prospective students to find their place in our community.

My experience as a former classroom teacher and now as a learning support specialist has given me a deep understanding of the challenging yet necessary goal of prioritising inclusivity in our school.

My goal is to collaborate with parents, teachers, students and external professionals to help every student feel confident navigating their way through the IB curriculum, no matter their individual needs. 

As an American, I feel privileged to have found so much inspiration from joining an international school community abroad, and I bring this sense of exploration and joy to my work with students every day.
