Learning support in Costa del Sol international schools: a parent guide
International-school families may encounter different terminology and processes depending on the curriculum and school system.
Common terminology
British-style schools may use SEN, SEND, SENCO or ALN terminology. Other international schools may use learning support, student support, guidance, counselling or inclusion teams.
Why outside assessment may be requested
A school may suggest further assessment when classroom evidence does not fully explain the learner’s progress, when specific access needs need clarifying, or when parents and teachers need a shared understanding of the profile.
What an outside report needs to do
The most useful report is not simply a list of test scores. It should help explain how the evidence connects to curriculum access, independence, support and the learner’s normal way of working.
