aspects of an

development that
will play a role in
their experience,
behaviour and
performance at
school.
Some information may be
provided to us in a student file
such as:
- age
- gender
- contact details and
- academic history.
Some aspects are obvious...
such as physical features and
development.
Other details are learnt during
a course of time spent with
the student...
... family structure and
socio-economic circumstances...
... cultural background...
... emotional and social
development...
... personal interests and
cognitive development.
But there are many things that
we may never know about our
students which may adversely
affect their time at school.
All students photographed with permission and are examples only.
