The
school has ongoing identification procedures for SEN as part of
continuous assessment. We also establish as much information as we can
regarding a child’s individual needs at intake stage when we meet with
parents and carry out home visits. If our
experience and expertise indicates that a child has special educational
needs we will always discuss this with parents, either initially with
the class teacher and/or the school’s Special Educational Needs
Co-ordinator (SENCO). If a child’s name is
placed on the school’s SEN register then an appropriate programme of
school action is devised and reviewed at regular intervals. If a child
is not responding sufficiently to any additional support that the
school is able to provide, and after discussion with parents, we may
refer to the Educational Psychologist or other outside agencies for
advice (this is called school action plus). In very rare cases a child
may receive a Statement of Special Needs. The
school’s Special Needs Co-ordinator is available and will be more than
happy to meet with parents to discuss any individual concerns that they
may have. The Special Needs Co-ordinator can be contacted directly
through the school office. The school has a
strong commitment towards inclusive education for all children, and in
line with the revised Code of Practice takes steps to provide
appropriate curriculum opportunities, teaching and learning approaches,
organisation of accommodation and resources in order to meet a wide
range of individual needs, including more able pupils. The
school is able to admit pupils with physical disabilities. The
accommodation is arranged on one floor, with access to entrances and
classrooms on one level. Wheelchair users are able to gain access to
most areas in the school. |
