Primary Morning Intervention & Re-engagement Programme
Small-group morning intervention for pupils who need something different. A structured morning of active learning, targeted English and Maths, emotional understanding and re-engagement — delivered in groups of up to six.
The challenge
When the classroom is not quite working…
Some pupils are not ready or able to access a full morning of classroom learning. They may be dysregulated, anxious, on a reduced timetable or repeatedly needing individual adult support.
A practical solution
Pupils receive purposeful, targeted intervention in a calm small-group setting, while classmates continue learning with fewer interruptions. The aim is re-engagement and a supported return to learning.
