Our Local Offer Details

All children and young people with SEND are valued, respected and equal members of the school.  As such, provision for pupils with SEND is a matter for the school as a whole. All teachers are teachers of pupils with SEND. The governing body, Headteacher, SENCo and all other members of staff have important responsibilities to ensure access to the Curriculum.

Interventions

We currently have a wide range of interventions available in school, covering a range of needs, including:

·       Reading

·       Writing (including spelling and handwriting)

·       Maths

·       Motor skills (fine & gross motor)

·       Speech and Language

Any intervention that your child receives is monitored and reviewed regularly, to ensure that it is supporting your child to make progress. Your child may work as part of a small group or individually on an intervention, with teachers and/or teaching assistants.
