At Jesus and Mary Secondary School, Gortnor Abbey, we are committed to providing an inclusive and supportive learning environment where every student has the opportunity to succeed.
We recognise that students learn in different ways and may require varying levels of support throughout their educational journey. Our Additional Educational Needs provision is designed to help students access the curriculum, build confidence, and achieve their full potential both academically and personally.
Working collaboratively with students, parents, teachers, and external professionals, we strive to ensure that each student receives the support most appropriate to their individual needs.
How We Support Students
Our approach extends beyond academic support and focuses on the overall development of each student.
We aim to foster confidence, independence, resilience, and a sense of belonging while helping students develop the skills needed to participate fully in school life. By providing appropriate supports and opportunities, we help students build on their strengths and achieve success in a way that is meaningful to them.
Working Together
We believe that strong communication between home and school is essential in supporting students with additional educational needs.
Parents and guardians play a vital role in helping us understand the strengths, challenges, and goals of each student. Through ongoing collaboration, we work together to create positive learning experiences that support student wellbeing, engagement, and achievement.
Regular communication and partnership help ensure that students receive the most effective support throughout their time at Gortnor Abbey.
