Additional Support Needs

Many children at Towerbank may require additional support during their time in the school.

A child or young person is said to have ‘additional support needs’ if they need more, or different support to what is normally provided in schools or pre-schools to children of the same age.

It doesn’t just apply to children who have long-term learning difficulties or disabilities. Children can need support for many reasons. Some may need a lot of support all the way through school. Others will only need a small amount for a short time.

There is a Towerbank Facebook group for parents of children with ASN where you can ask questions or share resources with other parents in the same position. ASN Facebook Group

The TPC also have an ASN rep who can raise issues on your behalf at TPC meetings or with the TPC office bearers directly.
