Intervention timetabling rationale: Due to the high mobility of students we have a curriculum model that does allow for a degree of flexibility, and we want to capitalise on this to run shorter, intensive blocks of wave 2 interventions for students with SEND. By January 2022 we will have completely moved to a model where the majority of the TA delivered interventions are run over the whole learning sequence for a particular subject rather than students missing smaller chunks of lots of different subjects. This decision is based on EEF guidance, which states that interventions make the most impact if they occur regularly (3-5 times per week.)
