Magdalen College School

The School recognises that many pupils need extra help with particular aspects of their learning at some stage in their school career. SEN provision is co-ordinated by a Head of Learning Support, who oversees provision in the Senior and Junior schools. The learning support department is centrally placed, well-resourced and provides regular assessment and testing. The department provides one-to-one teaching sessions as necessary, and there is close communication between tutors, parents and teachers. MCS has a dedicated EAL co-ordinator to support pupils for whom English is an additional language, and we engage an independent Educational Psychologist to conduct assessments for pupils who require them. A high priority is placed on providing the best possible support for pupils with special educational needs, and thoughtfully devised Individual Education Plans are in place for all pupils on the Learning Support roll.
