Upon entry to Year 7, pupils with the lowest literacy skills receive additional support with literacy. These students receive this additional support through one-to-one tutors, teaching assistants, the LRC manager and additional subject specialists within lesson time. These students also receive literacy support during tutor time. This support continues into Year 8. 

Regular testing/monitoring takes place to create a focus on specific literacy needs. This allows us to keep learning passports updated which, in turn, supports students across the curriculum. 

​Every child at Goole also has access to Sparx Maths, an online numeracy programme. Pupils in Years 8 – 11 are set specific tasks to complete every week as homework. Enrichment activities allow all pupils to complete their homework and, in addition, pupils can complete extra activities of their choice whenever they wish. All tasks involve self-marking questions and a video explaining the key concepts.

Pupils identified as falling behind age related expectations are offered after school intervention and also benefit from additional small group tuition during maths lessons.
