Education Support Working Group

All children are different and some may need extra support either at specific moments or throughout their school careers. The European Schools are required to provide educational support to children based on their specific needs, from special talents to physical or intellectual disabilities.

The European Schools’  policy on educational support entered into force in 2013-14. It combines and replaces the previous policies on learning support (LS), special educational needs (SEN) and the linguistic needs of students without a language section (SWALS). It offers four categories of support:
  • General support is short-term assistance for pupils who may be experiencing difficulty in a particular aspect of a subject, may need to ‘catch up’ due to late arrival in school or illness or may be working in their non-mother tongue. It is based on a Group Learning Plan (GLP).
  • Moderate support is longer-term assistance for pupils with a mild learning difficulty or in need of more targeted support. It is based on an Individual Learning Plan (ILP).
  • Intensive support is provided for two distinct groups also based on an ILP:
    • A – on an ongoing basis for pupils with special educational (learning, emotional, behavioural or physical) needs.
    • B – on a short-term basis for pupils with an acute educational need, e.g. language to access the curriculum.

Key documents

 The new learning support guidelines are available here. Changes include the use of IT to help DYS pupils during everyday lessons and examinations : https://www.eursc.eu/Documents/2012-05-D-15-en-13.pdf 

The Parents’ Association can advise the parents of children requiring educational support in a number of ways, for example by sharing information and helping them in their contacts with the School.

If your child requires educational support, or you think that s/he might, or you just want to know what’s happening in terms of educational support, please don’t hesitate to contact us (see Useful contacts tab).
