Learning Support Policy

If a student obtains less than 50% in English and Mathematics in two consecutive assessments, the student may be referred for learning support.
The student may be observed in class by the Learning Support Counsellor. If, in the opinion of the Learning Support Counsellor, the student has behavioural/psychological issues, the student may be referred to the internal/external counselor.
Parents may be called for a meeting with the Learning Support Counsellor, to discuss the student’s performance. If a Wide Range Achievement Test (WRAT) assessment needs to be done, parental consent shall be obtained. If the problem is more severe, the Learning Support Counsellor may request the parents of the student to have an external assessment done, to identify the problem and frame recommendations on how to support the student in school.
The results of the WRAT may be reviewed with the Principal/Deputy Principal/Senior Coordinator before the commencement of the Learning Support sessions. Written parental consent to commence the Learning Support sessions shall be obtained.
The Learning Support sessions shall be held in-school, during the school day. If sessions are to be held out of school hours, parental consent shall be obtained. The Learning Support Counsellor shall confer with the Home room teacher/subject teachers to identify the periods when the student can be withdrawn from scheduled classes to attend the Learning Support sessions.
If the student has been examined externally and found to have more serious educational needs, the Learning Support Counsellor shall review the external agency’s report and discuss with the parents the report and its recommended measures to support the student. The Learning Support Counsellor shall also brief the Home Room Teacher and relevant subject teachers on recommended accommodations to be made for the student.
The Learning Support Counsellor shall draw up Individual Learning Plans for each student placed under learning support and shall track the performance of the student against these plans termly.
Learning Support for the student may be discontinued if the School feels that the student has achieved the necessary benchmarks and is no longer in need of support or if the parents request in writing for such sessions to be discontinued. The progress of the students under the Learning support shall be reviewed by the Principal/Head of School every month.
In the event of a student having profound needs that cannot be supported by the school, parents will be counselled to seek external help.

MESSAGE

From the Principal’s Desk

We are witnessing an onslaught of changing trends in society, values, family life and of course in education. The challenge before us today is to mould students into caring and creative human beings. A system of education which is holistic, complete and gives sufficient scope for thinking, creativity and originality is absolutely necessary.

NPS International School delivers an international programme that is second to none offering exciting possibilities in a regularly upgraded campus, a faculty rich in talent and experience in grooming young lives and systems honed over six decades by the Group of schools.
Our expectations are high, not only from our students but from our staff as well. All-round education offered by the school in the classroom, the playgrounds and the campus in many ways encapsulates a training that has all the richness and flavour of a global educational approach.
I feel great joy and pride in the accomplishments of our students and faculty over the past decade. The alumni of our school bear testimony to the fact that each and every teacher has played her role to the fullest.

Despite the blitzkrieg of media attention on seemingly irrelevant matters, quality shines through in every sphere of our school life and that is our true achievement.

VOICES FROM OUR COMMUNITY

Real stories from parents and alumni who’ve experienced the NPSI difference, where care and growth come together.

“At NPSI, the teachers are very experienced and well-educated. They have a good understanding of the skillsets that students require, and they share their expertise with the students, developing their skillsets over time and preparing them as future industry participants.”

“My English isn’t very good, and when I first arrived at NPSI it was very tough. I couldn’t understand the concepts being taught or the language my classmates were speaking, but my teachers are very kind and helpful. They help us with extra lessons and are very thoughtful. Whenever they think I don’t understand, they ask me if I do and help me with the concept.”!

“NPSI teachers are very nice and teach very well. They are often very helpful, they give extra classes and advice to help you achieve a good career in the future. The teachers are very professional.”

“NPSI is a holistic school as it provides not only curriculum-based education, but also opportunities for children to be actively engaged and achieve in extra-curricular and co-curricular activities. It offers a broad horizon of activities that children can take part in, ensuring that at each stage they are given the right exposure to what they can expect in the outside world, so they are better equipped before they leave the school.”

“What I like about NPS is the openness of the school, from the principal and head of school to the teachers. They are always open to answering questions and encouraging children to speak up, ask questions, and explore where they want to go.

I also appreciate how holistic the school is. My younger child is in primary school and they are given many opportunities in dance, music, arts, and sports, along with experiences like OBTs (Outbound Trips).”
