Diverse Learning Needs

We strongly believe that it is the responsibility of all teachers to support our learners. To meet the varied needs of our students, we offer differentiated programs within the classroom setting and beyond.

We provide a range of flexible learning support programs, depending on resourcing and student needs:

• Small group Tier 2 and one on one Tier 3 support in classrooms 
• NESSY Reading and Spelling Program
• Playberry Tier 3 Support: An intensive, multisensory program focusing on highly structured phonetic instruction and the alphabetic system 
• MiniLit Sage Tier 2 support for students in Year 1 and 2 who need explicit small group instruction in phonemic awareness, systematic synthetic phonics for reading and spelling, letter formation and connected text reading
• MacqLit Tier 2 support for students in Years 3 -6 who need explicit and systematic reading intervention including phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary and comprehension

Saint David's Parish School provides numerous opportunities for students to explore their passions and develop skills outside the traditional classroom setting:

• Children's University
• Oliphant Science Awards
• Lego Club
• Student Voice
• Mini Vinnies
• Eco Warriors
• Year 6 Leadership Opportunities
• ICAS

These extracurricular activities not only enhance academic achievements but also contribute to personal growth, preparing students for future challenges and successes.

At Saint David's, we are committed to ensuring that every child has the opportunity to shine. Our approach to education is designed to meet the needs of all learners, whether they require additional support or are ready for more advanced challenges. By offering a wide range of programs and activities, we aim to nurture well-rounded individuals who are confident in their abilities and prepared for the opportunities that lie ahead.
