Special Education Needs (SEN) Series

Can students with SEN apply ?

One of the major downfalls of Hong Kong education is the spoon-feeding, big-class-teaching and exam-oriented cultures. Students with Special Education Needs (SEN) are often overlooked by teachers and discriminated in class due to their apparent lack of academic performance.

Parents often feel that SEN support is extremely poor in Hong Kong education. If students are allowed to express themselves freely and equally in a constructive learning environment, anybody can succeed and unleash their potential, especially with students with SEN.

U.K. education is the optimal choice for this ideal learning environment for any students with SEN. WOODLAND’s experience on application for students with SEN provides you with all the support you need on how U.K. schools value students with SEN and are very experienced in assisting students in getting used to the system.

With the assistance of Psychological Assessment Reports and the specific needs of each student, WOODLAND aspire to provide parents with the best options, assistance and follow-up to U.K. schools admissions.

WOODLAND – “To Provide Parents/Students with Bespoke UK School Guidance and Support.”

The education culture in the U.K. emphasises the philosophy of inclusive education. As the Office for Standards in Education (OFSTED) rightly pointed out, schools shall aim to evaluate each student’s learning progress, with special consideration on each learner’s individual differences in development. In terms of facilities, experience and support on SEN, SEN education in the U.K. is much more developed compared to that in Hong Kong. Schools are usually partnered with Psychologists, Speech Therapists, and academics from Learning Support to cater for the specialised development of students with SEN.

Depending on the family’s needs, students’ Psychological Assessment Report, learning potential and academic interests, WOODLAND is experienced in providing expert suggestions on the determination for mainstream or special schools. Moreover, we will assist to arrange for application, testing, interview and special support for the maximum chance of acceptance.
