Caring for Others ✝ Achieving Excellence
Special Educational Needs and Disabilities
All children are special! However, some require more particular provision and may need to work in smaller groups or receive more dedicated adult support at some stage in their time at the school.
Our aim is to identify areas where children may be under achieving or having learning difficulties at an early stage. We identify those with additional needs using OCC guidance, and inform parents if we think children require additional support. We assess all children regularly and plan for their provision in class and any additional interventions in a smaller group. This is recorded in a pupil profile. For those children on the SEND register, progress is reviewed and outcomes agreed three times in the school year with parents and children. We aim to work closely with parents and children, to respond to any concerns and celebrate achievements.
Areas of Special Education Need:
-
Communication and interaction: Children and young people with speech, language, and communication needs (SLCN) who have difficulty understanding and communicating with others.
-
Cognition and learning: Children and young people who learn at a slower pace than their peers, and those with Specific Learning Difficulties.
-
Social, emotional, and health difficulties.
-
Sensory and/or physical needs.
