Extraction sessions
In KS3 students are targeted for intervention support with their reading/spelling and Maths.
Students work in small groups or on a one-to-one basis under the guidance of a Teaching Assistant. This intervention is for a short period and aims to refocus and reintegrate students back into their lessons.
During extraction, students work towards achieving personalised short term targets which focus on key areas including:
- Raising self-esteem and confidence in the classroom
- Increasing motivation in the classroom
- Improving communication and language skills
- Raising attainment and grades in subjects
- Improving literacy and numeracy skills
