English as an Additional Language (EAL) Support

EAL students are those that are learning English, but already speak one or more other languages. Our EAL additional services ensure such students feel supported and guided on how best to understand and use the language of our curriculum. Our goal is for all EAL students to be properly included in lessons leading to higher self-esteem and confidence.

Tutoring; for gifted and talented or extra support

Many students have different strengths and difficulties within learning. We are are able to offer additional classes to build on foundation skills in order to increase abilities or to stretch and motivate those who are talented in an area. Our goal is for all students to reach their utmost potential.

Learning Support


All students are capable of progressing and succeeding, if they are given the proper attention and guidance, and are treated with the respect that their learning deserves.

Our admissions process is designed to establish a match between the cognitive and learning profile of a child and the provision within the academy. The additional services provided are child centered and can be at an additional cost.

Each child is assessed during their enrollment process, for their learning style and educational strengths. This assessment informs an individual plan of appropriate targets which is agreed with both the child and their parents and is then supported by the Shine team.

Psychology

Psychology is the application of psychological theory, research and techniques to support children, young people, their families and schools promote the emotional and social wellbeing of young people.

Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapists are key contributors within the education team. They support a student’s ability to participate in desired daily school activities or “occupations.” They help children to fulfil their role as students by supporting their academic achievement and promoting positive behaviors necessary for learning.

Occupational therapists at Shine International Academy have specific knowledge and expertise to increase participation in school routines throughout the day.

Speech and Language Therapy

Speech and Language Therapy addresses the needs of those who have difficulty communicating with others, caused by a wide range of difficulties.

At Shine International Academy Speech and Language Therapy is on site, because communication needs are often closely related to difficulties experienced in learning access.
