Supporting Every Child to Succeed

At Gothenburg International School (GIS), we believe that every child can succeed when they receive the right support, encouragement, and teaching approach.

Our Learning Support provision is designed to ensure that all students can access the curriculum, make strong progress, and feel confident in their learning journey.

A Personalised Approach to Learning

With small class sizes of a maximum of 15 students, teachers are able to understand each child’s strengths and areas for development in detail.

This allows us to:

• Identify learning needs early

• Adapt teaching to individual students

• Provide targeted academic support

• Challenge high-achieving learners appropriately

Every child receives attention that is tailored to their needs.

Early Identification and Support

We closely monitor student progress through classroom observation, assessment, and ongoing feedback.

This helps us to:

• Detect learning challenges early

• Provide timely intervention

• Prevent students from falling behind

• Support consistent academic progress

Our goal is always to support students proactively.

Inclusive and Supportive Learning Environment

GIS is committed to creating an inclusive learning environment where all students feel valued and supported.

We work to ensure that students:

• Feel confident in the classroom

• Can access learning materials effectively

• Receive appropriate levels of support

• Are encouraged to reach their full potential

Support for Different Learning Needs

Where appropriate, we provide additional support for students who may need extra help in areas such as:

• Literacy and reading development

• Writing and communication skills

• Mathematics understanding

• English language development

• Study skills and organisation

Support is tailored to individual needs.

Supporting High Achievers

Learning support is not only for students who need additional help. We also ensure that high-achieving students are challenged and extended.

We support these students by:

• Providing more advanced tasks and challenges

• Encouraging deeper critical thinking

• Supporting independent research and learning

• Maintaining high academic expectations

Strong Teacher Guidance

Teachers at GIS play a key role in supporting every learner. They work closely with students to ensure understanding, progress, and confidence in all subjects.

Where needed, teachers provide additional guidance, structured support, and regular feedback.

Working in Partnership with Families

We believe that the strongest support comes from collaboration between school and home.

We work closely with parents to:

• Share progress updates

• Discuss learning needs

• Develop support strategies

• Ensure consistency in student development

A Support System That Builds Confidence

Our Learning Support approach is designed not only to improve academic outcomes, but also to build confidence, independence, and resilience in every student.

We aim to create learners who feel capable, supported, and ready for future success.

Every Child Matters at GIS

At Gothenburg International School, no student is left behind. Every child receives the support they need to grow, achieve, and succeed.
