What is Legadel?

Legadel is a local organisation in north-west London that has been set up to help young children (age 4-7 years old) who have mild or moderate learning difficulties, by providing professional support in schools.

Why was Legadel created?

In June 2012, a group of parents and professionals created Legadel, to identify young children who are not thriving in the school system. The focus is on children who are having difficulties mastering key learning skills including fi ne motor coordination, adequate speech and language development, and reading. Any of these problems can lead to behavioural, social or emotional issues, and make the child’s experience of school an unhappy one. Legadel will support parents who are aware their child has a problem and can spend many years trying to find the appropriate help. We understand that, even where help is available the system is extremely complex, lengthy and frustrating. In addition, the financial strain of privately financing many of these vital services can add extra pressure to an already difficult situation. Each one of the founders and trustees of Legadel has experience with children facing difficulties at school, either in a personal or in a professional capacity.

What is Legadel’s Mission Statement?

To provide children presenting with mild-to-moderate special educational needs, whilst still in their early school years, the support to succeed. Through the development of a personal plan for each child, and the support of specially trained Learning Support Assistants these precious children will have the support they require to help them בס”ד achieve their maximum potential and enjoy their years at school.

What is Legadel’s Vision?

The vision is that by 2016 there will be evidence of a marked improvement in the

outcomes for children in NorthWest London. Through our unified approach, these children and their families will be helped to access all the available facilities, within the school environment. The aim is that children will be in a better position to integrate into school life, socially, emotionally and behaviourally.

What are Legadel’s core values?

LEGADEL BELIEVES THAT:• Every child can succeed if the right

support is put in place at school.

• Early intervention is vital to enable a child to be successful at school and later in life.

• Collaboration between professionals, parents and school staff ensures the optimal success of any intervention and is key to maintaining a child’s educational progress over time.

• Having Learning Support Assistants who liaise with the relevant professionals ensures a holistic and effective intervention plan.

• Children from families with limited financial means, deserve equal access to all forms of specialist support.

• Confidentiality will be preserved for every child receiving Legadel services.

In what way does Legadel differ from established organisations? There are other wonderful and professional organisations which for many years have supported and continue to support children and adolescents presenting with a wide range of needs across the community.Legadel is unique because:The focus of Legadel is solely on children who are not eligible for a statement of special educational needs but have mild to moderate educational needs often children on School Action or School Action Plus. (However if a child is identified as qualifying for an SEN statement we will offer assistance)Legadel does not accept direct referrals from parents or carers of children. All referrals to the Legadel manager have to come from the school SENCo.The primary focus is on providing intervention for children aged 4-7.

Legadel is training a team of Learning Support Assistants to incorporate recommendations of professionals and therapists into learning sessions.

What are a participating SCHOOL’S responsibilities towards Legadel?

• The Menahel or Head teacher will promote Legadel’s involvement and ensure full cooperation of all the staff.

• The school SENCo will identify the children in need of Legadel’s assistance and monitor their progress as they access the mainstream curriculum.

• The school will provide adequate physical space for Legadel staff to operate.

What are Legadel’s strengths?

• Legadel identifies and manages special educational needs quickly, and avoids becoming caught up in bureaucracy. The prime focus is on providing the required assistance to impact on the child’s achievement levels within the classroom.

• As a school-based programme, the SENCo at participating schools will be able to liaise more frequently and effectively with Legadel staff.

• There will be multi-professional meetings regularly scheduled. This

ensures that the child’s educational needs are being addressed and are under constant review.

• Legadel’s training and support of Learning Support Assistants (who observe the professionals and implement their strategies) reduces the cost to parents and creates a wider base of available

assistance.

• Parents are not required to ferry their children to and from sessions, as all the input is provided on the school’s premises.

• A single and cohesive intervention plan will address both the Kodesh and Chol requirements of the child.

How is Legadel financed?• Parents are asked to pay 40% of the

costs (although no child will be refused support due to lack of funds).

• Fund-raising and pledges from philanthropists.

• We have already begun to seek assistance from the government, the local authority and grant awarding bodies.

May I merit to raise children who will occupy themselves with Torah and mitsvos…is what we ask from Hashem.

Legadel with be part of the hishtadlus in trying

to reach that goal.
