Smaller Class Sizes
SGS Create class sizes are smaller than school. Our team understands how to get the best out of our learners with tailored teaching to match individual needs.
Dress Code
We value individualism and unlike most schools we do not have a uniform. We want learners to be themselves, to be comfortable with who they are and be free to express themselves through what they wear
Parent Partnerships
We understand how important the supportive relationships with parents, carers and families is to our learners success. We place engagement with families at the heart of our work.
Learning Support
Curriculum Support
All learners will be supported academically by classroom teachers and our team of HLTAs. Tutors will also provide support during the September transition period and work with teachers and families to provide information and feedback on how learners can make progress. 1:1 and small group work will be implemented to ensure learners are able to reach their full potential.
Emotional Literacy
SGS Create recognises learners achieve better in education if their emotional, mental and physical health needs are understood. Each group of learners will be supported by a tutor who will work collaboratively with teaching staff and other members of the team to support learners' emotional literacy. SGS Create will also work closely with our wellbeing mentor and wider SGS College wellbeing team. Our SENDCO will oversee this critical element of SGS Create’s educational support.
Academic Independence
Specialist support is available and provided on an individual basis, outside of lessons. Each session is tailored to suit individual needs and at a time that slots into the learners’ college timetable. Where appropriate, SGS Create learners will be referred to the English and Maths Skills Development Team for Exam Access Arrangements, assignment, literacy and numeracy support
Additional Learning Support EHCP
If your young person has an EHCP you need to let us know as soon as possible. Our team will meet with you and assess your support needs to make sure you get the right support in college.
