Our鈥疭pecial Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) team can be contacted by clicking the link below:
All teachers at 91猎奇 are teachers of all students and that includes students with a special educational need or disability.鈥疉ll work is appropriately adapted to meet the needs of students in every lesson.鈥疭ubject teachers make鈥痑ssessments of student progress and attainment throughout the academic year.鈥疻here quality first teaching is not sufficient to secure progress for a student, intervention programmes may be offered.鈥疶his intervention will depend on the individual student’s need.
Students who have less than expected progress in maths or literacy may be offered small group intervention programmes for a fixed period.鈥疧thers may be taught in a smaller set (circa 20 students or less) for the academic year. Older students may have one option block to use for extra support in maths or literacy.鈥�
Our SEND team, with the support of a team of Teaching Assistants,鈥痗an offer short-term, structured interventions for literacy and/or social interaction skills, as well as offering subject-based support. A suite of rooms, known in school as ‘XL’, is available to SEN support staff for teaching these interventions and also provides a safe haven for students at break and lunchtime should they need it.
Some students with SEN will need ongoing support with learning, throughout their school life.鈥疶hese children will fall under the heading of ‘SEN Support’ and will be kept on a register in school so that all teaching staff are aware of their needs.鈥疉ppropriate outside agencies will be asked to assist school in providing programmes of support and in carrying out further assessments as needed.
Students requiring additional support will have the costs of the first part of that support met by the school’s own resources.鈥疧nly when a severe difficulty is indicated would any top-up funding be provided by the Local Authority.鈥疶his would be managed through an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP).
The SEN Code of Practice requires the school to publish an SEN Information Report and a SEN Policy annually.鈥疶his gives more detail about what parents and carers can expect from our school. You can access this information below.
