Exam Access Arrangements (EAAs) are the reasonable adjustments that can be made for a student/exam candidate. These may include extra time, permission to use assistive technology, scribe, rest breaks or practical assistance.

The service is available for secondary schools to assist children and young people with SEN. The Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ) who oversee EAA for GCSE and A-Level qualifications, and requires that the process of determining EAA is carried out in collaboration between the school/college and specialist assessor.

​

It is delivered by Sarah Alderson, a qualified EAA assessor with a Level 7 Postgraduate Award of Proficiency in Assessment for Access Arrangements. Sarah can undertake standardised assessments which meet JCQ requirements, work with schools and colleges to complete part 2 of Form 8, and advise on any relevant and appropriate EAA.

TCT offers a comprehensive handwriting assessment and support service. Our team are experienced working with children of all ages who are
experiencing difficulties with a range of difficulties such as learning to write, illegibility or getting work finished in an age appropriate time.

The assessments are designed to assess the underlying skills needed for handwriting. As teachers know handwriting is a complex skill that requires a number of key elements to be in place for writing to become an easy motor skill. It is not just about securing ‘fine motor skills’.

​

We will always say that you are never too old to change your handwriting or learn a new skill. We are very keen to support all aged pupils with improving their handwriting in fun and inventive ways.

Our team of occupational therapists and physiotherapists are committed to supporting children and young people to improve their handwriting skills. The youngsters will also find that in the process, they will also find other benefits such as positive improvement their general motor skills and physicality.

TCT's Student Focused Advisory Service provides SEND support and advice to schools, working to ensure a graduated approach is provided
for young people at SEN Support or EHCP level.

​

The advisory work can be used as evidence of the SEN ‘graduated approach.’ 

Our advisory practitioner comes from an experienced SENCO/teaching background and will work and plan collaboratively with schools. This ensures the individual students’ needs are being met and the best possible provision is put in place.

​

The service is designed for Primary schools, Secondary schools and Independent schools. Please find full details outlined in the brochure available to download below.

We often hear from school and teachers that they have students who are struggling with messy, illegible, slow and/or a dislike of handwriting. 6 for 6 is designed for school to recommend for parents and students but also lends itself really well to running as a group within school.

Its clear easy to follow format gives the school all it needs to implement the programme and show a before and after result. Not only will this benefit the students but the ‘evidence’ produced can also be used when planning any SEN, onward referrals or additional input for students.

The programme is designed to achieve other wins too! So why not join into and not only see the improvement in your student handwriting but feel the benefits of becoming stronger and fitter too!

Do you have children who:

• Find it hard to regulate in school

• Have separation anxiety from parents

• Have difficulty understanding setting rules or routines

• Consistently need some extra support to access the curriculum

• Need support with how to play.

We are aware that settings are currently struggling to access timely intervention and face to face contact with professionals to help with supporting the children in their care. We are therefore offering the opportunity for you to buy in support from our experienced team.

We can offer support in a number of ways – but it will always provide a systemic look at a child in order to gain a broader knowledge of their experiences and their responses to these experiences.
