Our School

SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities)

Our Special needs Provision

 

As a school we are committed to the belief that every child is an individual who brings something special to the school community.  All children, regardless of ability, background or ethnicity, have the right to participate in and enjoy all aspects of school life, and have the opportunity to meet their full potential.

The SENCO frequently reviews progress and attainment of all children. Following on from these reviews the SENCO may identify children who may have a particular need. If a child is identified of having an additional need then the SENCO will have discussions with both teachers and parents to advise how we can support the pupils further. The SENCO works closely alongside teachers and parents to plan effectively on how pupils can be supported. The SEN provision map records the type of intervention a child is receiving along with the costing for the intervention. Regular meetings with key staff and the senior leadership team looks at the success of these interventions according to progress made. Our SEND Information Report also explains what provision is available in our school.

Staff are given regular training on how to support our SEND children. We also have a school nurse which advises staff. The SENCO works with various external agencies to ensure our pupils get the full support that they are required including; Educational psychologists, Specialist teachers, Speech and language therapists and a Dyslexia trained teacher. The majority of staff have received First aid and Epi-pen training.

During assessments children can be supported 1:1, have timed breaks or be given additional time. They can sit assessments in a quiet separate area if needed.
