Support and extra help

Every school in Westland offers basic support for all pupils. Does your child need more? Then various forms of extra help are available.

Every school has an internal support coordinator (IB-er). This is a specialist who supports teachers in guiding children who need extra help. The IB-er can also think along with you as a parent.

For children who do not yet sufficiently master the Dutch language, there are schools with a language class. In a language class, your child receives intensive language support, so they can join a regular class as soon as possible.

VVE stands for pre-school and early school education. This is a programme for children aged 2 to 6 who are at risk of a language delay. VVE schools pay extra attention to language, but also to maths and social-emotional development.

Does your child need extra support? Indicate this when filling in the registration form. The school will then contact you for an introductory conversation. During this conversation, you will together look at what your child needs and whether the school can offer this.
