LEARNING SUPPORT @ GRANTLEY COLLEGE
Grantley College specializes in supporting learners with ADD / ADHD, Learning specific challenges in Language, Mathematics and Comprehension [Dyslexia, Dyscalculia and Dysgraphia] , as well as learners who struggle with social skills.
Small Group Support is enjoyed by Grade 8 and 9 learners on a weekly basis. Twice a week within the timetable they meet in small groups with specialist learning support staff for pre-teaching, reinforcement and learning skills support, in English, Afrikaans and Mathematics.
Reading Recovery is a unique programme designed by Grantley College, to support reading and comprehension in High School.
Using various tools, Reading Recovery builds vocabulary, develops reading with meaning and focuses on comprehension skills that can be transferred to all learning areas.
Whilst Junior Learning Support focuses on remediating and skills development, Senior Learning Support is content based, with learners receiving small group support in the critical areas of Language and Mathematics.
Support in content subjects is given in tutor groups.
Seniors enjoy a “winter school” each year in which their exam skills are refreshed and they become “exam ready”.
The Grantley College Learning Support Team includes two qualified and experience Educational Psychologists who offer a variety of programmes to support our learners.
These programmes included:
- Individual Support Therapy
- Junior Transition Workshops
- Social Skills Workshops
- Parent Information Sessions – refer to our Learning Space Tab.
