At Freemen's we recognise that children learn at different rates and will have individual needs and the Learning Support Department offers support to develop student's skills in order for them to learn effectively. The Department works with students, parents and members of staff to ensure we provide the best learning environment possible.

At Freemen's, our aim is to promote the well-being and learning potential of every pupil.

Support is offered for pupils after consultation with parents and members of the teaching and pastoral staff. The support is offered in an unobtrusive way to help pupils address any areas of challenge they face.

The Learning Support Department offers support for developing good study habits including:

• Essay planning and writing skills
• Proof-reading skills
• Comprehension
• Organisation
• Memory skills
• Identification of learning styles
• Revision skills
• Exam preparation
• Managing exam anxiety
