St Peter's CE Primary School
SEND & Inclusion
Welcome
At St Peters, we aim to provide all children with an education according to their individual needs. We believe that the educational goals for all children are the same. We are committed to the principle of inclusion and additional support is given to children to meet their needs. There are occasions when it is better for children to have individual or small group support. The SENDCo works closely with parents to discuss children’s needs and progress. Children with additional needs may receive targeted support.
The term special needs is a very broad one, covering a wide range of needs. A child may experience difficulties which may fall into one or more of the following categories:
- Cognition & Learning
- Communication & Interaction
- Social, Emotional & Mental Health
- Sensory/Physical needs
At St Peters, our aims are:
- To provide quality first teaching for all, including those learners with SEND.
- To form a positive working partnership with parents, consulting with and reporting to them from the outset and at regular intervals on their child’s progress.
- To ensure that all staff are alert to any indications that a child may be experiencing difficulties at school, including early identification of SEND.
- That children be assessed as soon as possible when difficulties are recognised, using a range of screening and assessment materials.
- To plan and implement a programme of support adhering to the approach described in the SEND Code of Practice.
- To involve the pupil in planning for and reviewing the provision for their needs wherever appropriate.
- To consult fully with the class teacher and teaching assistants at all stages.
- To collaborate with all external providers of support.
- To monitor, record and review the effectiveness of the programme on a regular basis, making adjustments where necessary.
- To accurately assess and track the progress of children with SEND and work to ensure that attainment for these children improves.
- Providing appropriate training and support to professionals within the setting with regard to SEND.
