Our learning empowerment approach
At Crosfields, learning support is centred on empowerment rather than replacement. Our Learning Empowerment Team works alongside teachers, teaching assistants and pastoral staff to ensure pupils with diverse learning profiles can thrive in the classroom. We follow a graduated response, using high quality adaptive teaching to meet most needs within lessons. This neurodiversity affirming approach recognises the strengths individuals bring and ensures that all pupils can access the curriculum with their peers, building confidence, independence and a strong sense of belonging.
Celebrating neurodiversity
Crosfields actively values neurodiversity, embracing the varied thinking and learning styles that enrich our community. We focus on keeping pupils learning alongside their peers, using assistive technologies and research-informed strategies to promote independence. Staff receive regular CPD to stay current with best practice, ensuring pupils experience an environment that supports them academically, socially and emotionally. With Woody the therapy dog at the heart of the department, our team creates a warm, supportive space where every pupil can flourish, without any additional fees for Learning Empowerment support.
