At Guston, we recognise that pupils learn in different ways and at different rates. Cognition and learning needs refer to difficulties with understanding, processing and retaining information, which can affect progress across the curriculum. These needs may includes challenges with literacy, numeracy, working memory, organisation, problem-solving and independent working.
The majority of children need support with gaps in their learning or time to revisit key concepts during their time at school. Where difficulties persist school will explore this to identify underlying causes and to provide the adapted provision required to ensure any barriers to curriculum access and academic progress are removed.
