| The SEN Framework |
| |
|
| |
There are four levels
of SEN provision: |
| * |
School Action, SA –
this need is met by staff within the school |
| * |
School Action Plus, SA+
- this need is met by external professionals |
| * |
Assessment – the
LEA is considering if a statement is needed |
| * |
Statement – the
school is given additional funding to meet the needs
of the pupil, this will usually be through individual
teaching or in class support. The statement will
give the level of funding for that pupil. It is
revised annually through the Annual Review process. |
| |
|
| There are four
areas of need defined in the SEN Code of Practice: |
| |
|
| * |
Communication and interaction |

The Learning Support
Department operates an open door policy and welcomes
parents phoning or visiting to discuss their child’s
needs. Parents are encouraged to share their concerns
with the department and appointments can be made
for individual problems. |
| |
|
| |
Parents are informed
of any change to SEN status and support for their
child and invited to discuss this with SEN teachers. |
| |
|
| |
An IEP is prepared and
sent home twice each year. All parents are invited
to an evening mid year to consider the previous
plan evaluation and to discuss new targets. Parents
of Y7 with SEN are invited to discuss any issues
near to the end of the first term in this year. |
| |
|
| |
An Annual Review is held
for all pupils with a statement of SEN; parents
are invited to attend this and will receive the
completed documentation. |
