SEND-

According to the SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) Code of Practice January 2015, a child of compulsory school age or a young person has a learning difficulty if he or she:

1. Has a significantly greater difficulty in learning than the majority of others of the same age; or
2. Has a disability which prevents or hinders him or her from making use of facilities of a kind generally provided for others of the same age in mainstream schools or mainstream post-16 institutions. SEN Code of Practice (2014, p 15 and 16)

We are committed to providing an appropriate and high quality education to all the children. We believe that all children, including those identified as having special educational needs have a common entitlement to a broad and balanced academic and social curriculum, which is accessible to them, and to be fully included in all aspects of school life. High quality teaching, differentiated for individual pupils is the first step in responding to pupils who have or may have SEN. 

Children that are judged to have SEN are included on the schools SEN Register as being at School Support level along with their area of need. The four broad areas of need are;

• communication and interaction
• cognition and learning
• social, emotional and mental health difficulties
• sensory and/or physical needs.

Children who have an EHCP (Education Health Care Plan) are also included on the register as having so.

All children with SEN will have SEN Targets which are shared with you three times a year via their Class Teacher. Those children who have an EHCP of are in receipt of High Needs Funding will have Personalised Plans with Outcomes that are shared with you three times a year via the school SENCo.

For any further information or support please speak to me or the Inclusion Coordinator, Mrs Elks.
