We adapt the curriculum and learning environment for pupils with SEND and it is our aim to:
- Increase the extent to which SEND pupils can participate in the curriculum
- Improve the physical environment of the school to enable all pupils to take better advantage of education, benefits, facilities and services provided
- Improve the availability of accessible information to SEND pupils
In accordance with the Equality Act 2010:
- We source specialist support for pupils with SEN and disabilities
- We use local authority support services for early intervention with children.
- The curriculum fairly assesses children against the skills that they have.
- The foundation curriculum does not rely on writing and literacy skills to be assessed as average or above.
- The whole school building is accessible to pupils.
- School has a path onto the yard accessible for pupils in a wheelchair.
We:
- Ensure that all pupils have access to the school curriculum and all school activities.
- Help all pupils achieve to the best of their abilities, despite any difficulty or disability they may have.
- Ensure that teaching staff are aware of and sensitive to the needs of all pupils, teaching pupils in a way that is more appropriate to their needs.
- Encourage pupils to gain in confidence and improve their self-esteem.
- Work in partnership with parents/ carers, pupils and relevant external agencies in order to provide for children’s special educational needs and disabilities.
- Identify at the earliest opportunity, all children that need special consideration to support their needs (whether these are educational, social, physical or emotional)
- Make suitable provision for children with SEND to fully develop their abilities, interests and aptitudes and gain maximum access to the curriculum.
- Ensure that all children with SEND are fully included in all activities of the school in order to promote the highest levels of achievement.
- Promote self-worth and enthusiasm by encouraging independence at all age and ability levels.
- Give every child the entitlement to a sense of achievement.
- Regularly review the policy and practice in order to achieve best practice.
