Behaviour Intervention Programme


The Behaviour Intervention Programme is tailored to the specific needs of students who present with a variety of challenging behaviours.

The programme is specifically designed to address the individual student’s social, emotional, behavioural and academic needs.

Students who attend the programme struggle in several areas including relationships, social skills, concentration and attention difficulties, absenteeism, academic difficulties and emotional well-being concerns (externalising or internalising behaviours).

Some students receiving support have been assessed with identified conditions e.g., SLCN, ADHD, ODD, ASD, Dyslexia, and Dyspraxia. Other students have not had a formal assessment but persistent behaviour in school impedes their progress.
