Special Educational Needs and Disabilities
As of September 1st 2014 the Government has launched a new Code of Practice (CoP) for Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) which aims to reform and improve current practices and provision within educational settings for young people. In order to adhere to the new Code of Practice we are currently reviewing our current SEND Policy, procedures and provision in order to provide the best possible education for all children in our school requiring additional support.
If you would like to know more about the new SEND Code of Practice please follow this link:

Currently children with additional needs are identified in a variety of ways including: Teacher Assessments; standardised tests; progress of child in relation to age expectations; observation within lessons; concerns of Parents or child; and through advice of other professionals (e.g. Educational Psychologist, Occupational Therapist).
If parents and carers have any concerns about their child’s progress they can contact the school office at any time to arrange an appointment to discuss these concerns with the class teacher, the school SENDCo Mrs Sanderson or Headteacher Mr Wheatley.
