What is Special Educational Needs (SEN)?
All pupils have individual interests, needs, strengths and next steps. Usually, in a mainstream school, these are met through Quality First Teaching by the class teacher so that each child makes progress towards achieving Age Related Expectations. A child or young person has a SEN if they have a learning difficulty or disability which is a barrier to learning and calls for special educational provision to be made for them.
How do I find out about the support, provision and progress of my child?
All teachers are teachers of pupils with special educational needs and the Class Teacher, who knows the child best, should be the first port of call for parents. In addition, the SENDCO can provide support about a child’s needs, progress and support.)Every half term, an Individual Support Plan (ISP) is created so that the child’s progress and support is reviewed and next steps discussed and planned. These are shared with parents termly.
