Learning Support

At Merchant Taylors’ Prep School, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to thrive. Our dedicated Learning Support team works closely with pupils, parents, and staff to ensure that all learners, whatever their individual needs, are supported, challenged, and celebrated.

From Reception through to Year 6, we provide tailored support for a wide range of learning needs. This includes children who are gifted and talented, as well as those with specific learning differences such as dyslexia, dyspraxia, and dyscalculia, or those who simply need a little extra help to unlock their full potential.

Support is delivered in a variety of ways, including:
• Individualised lessons designed to target specific areas of need;
• Small group sessions to build confidence and reinforce key skills;
• In-class support to ensure inclusive learning experiences;
• Specialist advice for teachers to adapt and personalise their teaching.

Our team is experienced in using educational assessments to better understand each child’s unique learning profile. This insight allows us to tailor teaching strategies that play to a child’s strengths while addressing areas for development.

We work proactively to identify and meet individual needs as early as possible. Our goal is to ensure that every child experiences success, builds confidence, and enjoys a positive and fulfilling school journey.
