Pupil Support and Inclusion is a service responsible for co-ordinating support for children and young people with Additional Learning Needs throughout Denbighshire.

What are 'Additional Learning Needs (ALN)'?

The term ALN applies to children and young people whose learning needs are additional to the majority of their peers. Children and young people with ALN include those who:

• have ALN;
• are disabled;
• have medical needs;
• have emotional, social and behavioural difficulties, including those who are school phobics and school refusers;
• are more able and talented; and
• are learning English as an additional language.

If you are concerned about your child's progress, you should speak directly to the school. The school will have a published policy on identifying and supporting pupils with additional learning needs which you can ask to see.
