SEND

This provides guidance to schools and parents about meeting the needs of pupils.  Staff in school will work with parent/carers guiding them and informing them of any additional work they may need to do to support children and identify their strengths.  If they need additional help, they will be assessed in school.

From September 2014 the government will introduce a single category called ‘SEND support’.  This will be a simple and rigorous approach which will focus on the impact of the support provided for your child and how your child can access the help they need.

People who may support children with additional needs:

SENCo

Co-ordinates SEND provision across school

Class Teachers

They will always make sure that appropriate work is given to your child to meet their needs and ability

Teaching Assistants

They support your children in class and alo offer additional support through Maths, Literacy, Phonics, Life skills support.

Psychologist

Will come into school to carry out assessments for children who have additional needs

Speech and Language Therapist

Works regularly with school and can tell you if your child needs additional assessment or support

Outreach Support

We work with agencies that specialise in children with additional needs and they can provide us with help and resources

St. Michael’s Primary SEND Information Report

The SEND Information Report is a local offer of all services available to support disabled children and children with SEND and their families. It will let parents/ carers and young people know how a school or college will support them. The following 14 questions were devised in consultation with parents/carers and other agencies and reflect their concerns and interests. Below are St. Michael’s Primary School’s current responses to these questions. At St. Michael’s Primary School we are continually looking to improve the provision for our pupils. To this end the information in these responses will be regularly reviewed and updated as necessary.

The full SEND Information Report  can be found below:
