An Inclusive Approach

Belvedere Academy is an Inclusive School which means that children with any kind of special need have access to the curriculum. We are fortunate that on our team we have specialist teachers, including Ms Thelen who is a specialist teacher of dyslexia.

In order to help the girls reach their full potential we employ a number of strategies that our catered for individual needs. We have withdrawal from lessons where students receive personalised support tailored specifically to their targets. A number of Breakfast clubs take place using a variety of resources including software packages that enhance and support students in their learning of literacy, numeracy and helping them with organisation issues. We have a reading club and a spelling group that meet on a regular basis. We as a department also give in class support as well as doing group work.

The whole of the Belvedere Academy is dedicated to Inclusion and thus within each curriculum area there is a Special Needs representative who ensures that students who have been identified are supported.

The Inclusion Team has many links with outside agencies including Parent Partnership. This organisation is a means of communication to all parents in the Merseyside area that have children with special needs. It gives useful telephone numbers and website addresses. As a school we also have access to counselling services as well as having regular contact with the school nurse.
