Parent Information: Special Education Needs & Disabilities (SEND)

Inclusion and SEND Newsletter 15th March 2024

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 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, respond to any concerns and celebrate achievements. In a small number of cases where there is still a lack of progress, perhaps where there are more complex needs and a range of external agencies, the school may apply for an Education Health and Care Plan. Children who are already have a Statement of Educational Need will switch to an EHCP within 3 years.

If you have concerns about your child’s progress, please do not hesitate to speak to their class teacher.
