Special Educational Needs (SEN)

A pupil may be placed on our Special Needs register if a teacher has concerns about their learning progress at school or if they have a problem with hearing, vision, speech, behavior or mobility.  This means that the teacher and other adults working with that pupil are paying particular attention to their needs.  They may ask that the pupil gets extra help from a specialist teacher who works in the school.  The special educational needs co-ordinator will talk to the parent about the programme planned for the child and will regularly review their progress.

If a pupil continues to show no progress despite these special arrangements, the school may decide with the parent’s agreement, to ask for support from specialists like an educational psychologist or speech therapist  and in some cases, apply for an Education, Health and care plan.  This is when professionals from outside school assess the child’s progress.  If a EHC plan is granted, the pupil will usually be given a Specialist Teacher and/or a Special Needs Assistant to work with them in class for part of the week.  This is in addition to any extra help the school is already giving.

The school’s special needs co-ordinator will be happy to talk with you if you have any questions relating to your child’s special needs and can provide you with a copy of our policy in this area if you wish.  There is also a school governor you can speak to if you have any questions (the school office can arrange an appointment).
