TIE HoyMy child needs extra support — how to ask the school
The teacher already wrote lunchtime support slots and specific practice tasks in the report — use what is already provided first, then ask the school what else is available
Does the school not offer support proactively?
They do. You may not have noticed.
The report already mentions ICT lunchtime support, Band C intervention, specific practice tasks. These are not suggestions — they are support already in place.
Check if your child is using them. If used but not enough, email the teacher asking what else can be done.
How do I email the teacher?
Just write. Teachers will respond with methods or suggestions.
State three things: where the child is stuck, what has been tried, what else might help.
Perfect English not needed.

Read the latest report. Find the support already offered. Confirm your child is using it.

Basis
Tiger reports show ICT lunchtime, Band C intervention. Schools provide support but parents often do not notice because the language is embedded in report comments.
More questions
What if support is not enough?
Use what exists first. If genuinely insufficient, email explaining what the child used and where they still get stuck. The teacher will adjust.
