Including All Learners
Our aim is for each child to reach his or her potential and we provide a fully inclusive education for all our learners. If a child has a specific physical, emotional or learning need then we adapt our provision to ensure accessibility to our curriculum.

Special Educational Needs Provision
We aim to identify a child’s special educational needs as early as possible, in order to address each child’s specific needs and ensure that each child reaches his or her potential. We monitor the progress of all our children closely and hold Pupil Progress Meetings each half-term. Any child not making expected progress is a cause for concern and is supported according to his or her needs. Children who are identified as having additional educational needs are entered onto our Special Education Needs Register, in consultation with parents/carers, and are closely monitored by our SENCO, Miss Keyzer.
We use a variety of intervention and classroom support strategies to meet the needs of our learners across the four areas of SEND.
Partnerships with Professionals
It may be that there is a specific difficulty hindering a child's progress and we may refer to an outside agency, in consultation with parents/carers, who will advise on strategies to overcome the difficulty.
Partnership with Parents
We aim to foster a strong partnership with parents where all parents feel valued and listened to. We encourage parents to liaise with their child’s class teacher or the SENCO if they have any concerns. We will have an early discussion with the pupil and their parents/carers when identifying whether they need special educational provision.
Parents of pupils with SEND will have access to their SEND support plan or pupil passport (dependent on stage of graduated approach) online via Edukey. Children’s SEND Learning Plans and related progress can be discussed with class teachers during termly parent/ teacher consultations. The school has an “open door policy” and parents/carers are welcome to contact class teachers or SENCo to discuss any specific queries or concerns relating to SEND provision.
Parents/carers are invited to attend the Annual Reviews for pupils with EHCPs. This provides an opportunity to discuss the needs of their child and celebrate their success.
Where we seek outside agency involvement, parents are invited to discuss their child’s difficulties with the professional or team. A copy of the report or any key recommendations are always shared with parents or guardians.
