Extra time
Time to understand new ideas, practise new skills and show what they know, without feeling rushed.
Learning support
Sunshine Learning Support
Helping every learner take a full part in school life and grow with confidence.
Our approach
Every learner, every way of learning
The Sunshine Section is Project Canaan Academy’s learning support programme. It exists so that every learner, whatever the way they learn, can take a full part in school life and keep growing with confidence.
Who Sunshine supports
Support shaped around each learner
Some learners need extra time, a different approach or more focused attention to reach their potential. Sunshine works with learners whose needs are identified through everyday teaching, classroom assessment and conversations with their families.
A different approach
Teaching that adapts to how each learner understands best, so new ideas make sense.
Focused attention
Closer attention from adults who know each learner’s goals and celebrate their progress.
How support works
Growing with confidence, step by step
Support is planned, shared and reviewed, so it keeps pace with each learner as they grow.
-
Small groups and one-to-one
Focused support alongside classroom learning, in small groups or individually.
-
A plan for each learner
Learning plans shaped around each learner’s strengths as well as their needs.
-
One team around the child
Sunshine staff, class teachers and parents work closely together.
-
Reviewed as learners grow
Progress is reviewed regularly, so support changes as the learner grows.
Working with families
Parents are partners
Parents are partners in their child’s learning. If you think your child may benefit from learning support, we would love to talk with you.
