Additional Learning Needs (ALN)

At Croeserw Primary School, we are proud of the support that we offer for learners with Additional Learning Needs. All learners within the school are supported well and we have positive working relationships with learners and their families as well as other individuals and organisations that work with the young person. The support, guidance and interventions that we offer are tailored to meet the needs of each learner individually and this support is monitored and adapted in a pupil-centred way.

Additional Learning Needs legislation in Wales has changed. This is known as the Additional Learning Needs and Education Tribunal (Wales) Reform. 

What is ALN?

ALN stands for Additional Learning Needs. At Croeserw Primary School we recognise that all pupils come to school at different stages of development and with different needs. Whilst many factors contribute to the range of difficulties experienced by some children, we believe that much can be done to overcome them by parents, teachers and pupils working together.

Croeserw Primary school values the abilities and achievements of all its pupils. All children are valued, respected and nurtured. We endeavour to provide the best educational opportunities for each child and strive to maximise their potential in a ‘can do’ learning culture.

Pupils who meet our criteria for having ALN  will be supported by class teachers, teaching assistants other adults and their learning environment.
