Learning Support
The Learning Support Faculty supports students with a range of learning needs, including students with a special educational need or disabilities (SEND), English as an additional language (EAL), children in care (CiC) or previously looked after children (PLACs).
Further information on Learning Support at BBA is available under the Learning Support section of the website.
We know that preparing for transition to secondary school is so important, especially if a child has additional needs.
The Learning Support Team at BBA work closely with primary schools to make sure information about the needs of students are shared with us and we use this to support transition.
We also know that parents/carers are the experts on their child, and we welcome working in partnership with you. Please do contact us at BBA if you would like to discuss the transition of your child.
