SEN Support Plans and Ordinarily Available Provision

SEN Support Plans

Assess, Plan, Do, Review as set out in the SEND Code of Practice 5.36

Assess

If we feel your child has SEN, we will write an SEN support plan which as a mainstream school we must provide. This plan identifies your child's needs, the action needed and planned outcomes. However, if your child's needs are severe or complex they may go straight to the next step - formal assessment.

Plan

Every child on the SEND register has an SEN support plan. This outlines desired outcomes, type of provision, time and financial costings.

We have Learning Support Assistants to support those children with additional needs. They are trained to run a number of interventions including:

Language Link, Speech Link and Shape Coding - to support pupils with speech, language and communication difficulties.
Precision Monitoring - to support pupils with specific numerical or literacy difficulties.
First Class at Number - to support pupils with Numeracy difficulties.
Rainbow Road and Handwriting - to support pupils with gross/fine motor difficulties.
Lexia - to develop phonetic reading skills.
Social Skills Groups - to support children with social interactions, confidence and developing friendships.
Nurture Group - a small group for children who may feel insecure in school or who are in need of more adult attention than can be provided in their main class.

Review

These are shared with parents and carers three times per year.
