Years 1-6
The dedicated Primary Learning Centre is led by a SENCO (Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator) and ELL Co-ordinator (English Language Learner). They work with trained support staff to provide programmes at the PLC, and extra assistance in the classroom. Support is provided for students who are experiencing difficulties in their learning journey, or who are developing their English Language Learning. The support may occur individually or in small groups.
Years 7-13
At Middleton Grange, our Learning Centre provides personalised support to help each student flourish academically, socially, and emotionally. We offer small group, one-on-one, and in-class assistance to meet individual needs, build confidence, and encourage a love for learning.
We work in close partnership with families, teachers, and outside agencies to take a holistic approach: supporting the whole child, not just their academic progress. This collaboration ensures that each student’s unique strengths are nurtured and their challenges are addressed with wisdom, care, and consistency.
We also support attendance, physical or medical needs and a range of other barriers that may come up in your child’s learning such as needing to trail special assessment conditions.
For senior students, we offer study guidance, subject support, and assistance with assessments and exams for those who qualify for special assessment conditions. Our dedicated team is committed to equipping students with the tools, strategies, and encouragement they need to succeed in school and in life.

We are also blessed by the service of volunteer Readers-Writers, who play an important role in helping students demonstrate their true abilities during assessments. If you would like to volunteer to be one please email: learningcentre@middleton.school.nz
In all we do, we strive to reflect Middleton Grange’s values—honouring God, serving others, and fostering an environment where every student knows they are valued, capable, and created with a purpose.
