[senco-forum] Fw: Planning for new Y7 with poor literacy scores

Dear All

I'm sure we've had a thread like this before but here's my quandary. What do 
secondary schools do for pupils with poor literacy/numeracy scores?

I ask the question because it was raised at a discussion meeting today as to 
what sort of curriculum these pupils should have to help them achieve? 
Currently we use withdrawal and Fresh Start in English but then they 
struggle in mixed ability groups in other areas. (Yes I know the word 
differentiation but lets be honest it doesn't always happen!) One 
neighbouring school uses a "primary" school approach teaching them in small 
groups with the same teacher...

Any suggestions? What do other schools to do to ensure they are catered for, 
learn literacy and then consequently can cope with KS3 curriculum?
