Consulting with SEND

Children and Young People with SEND

Teachers/SENDCo and Support Staff will work with children and young people to identify the support needed to meet agreed outcomes. The provision is planned and interventions are allocated to individual needs. The children take an active role with setting their outcomes and discussing them with the class teacher/SENDCo.  The children have regular meetings with staff to discuss their progress and support.

Parents and carers of children and young people with SEND

We are committed to working with parents and carers to identify their child’s needs and support. Parents and carers will be involved throughout the process.

There is a range of ways we do this, for example:

  • Termly parents/ carers consultations;
  • Ongoing discussions with a class teacher and/or SENDCo;
  • An ‘open-door’ policy, where parents and carers are welcome to come into school to discuss any concerns they may have;
  • Termly reviews of a child’s SEND Support Plan
  • Annual and interim reviews for a child with an EHC Plan.

If your child has an EHCP (Education Health & Care Plan) their views will be sought before any review meetings. The SENDCO will work with all outside agencies that are involved in the welfare of your child.
