How do we Teach Children with Additional Needs?
- School offers targeted intervention group work where children are supported by a member of staff focussing on specific needs taken from support packages. The intervention groups can focus on addressing literacy and numeracy skills, speech language and communication, social skills and therapeutic work and targets are set by SENCO and class teachers.
- Within the classroom teachers will adapt their curriculum to meet the needs of any child with additional needs offering practical support and differentiated work where appropriate.
- We can provide children with SEN therapeutic work through art therapy, lego therapy and early interventions in SALT and behaviour support. We can provide visual timetables for children as well as adapting weekly timetables to offer more personalised learning suited to their needs.
- School will set homework weekly however this can be discussed with parents and carers as to how to deliver it appropriately for each child.
- In and out of class support.
- Assessment of pupil’s progress and an emphasis upon achievements and success.
- Reading recovery scheme project X.
- Opportunities for small group work within the school day.
- A variety of engaging teaching styles to meet a broad range of need.
- School counselling service
In order to offer the best education to each child we promote the relationship between school and home, we value a parent’s perspective and want to hear what families would like to see for their child’s education. This will be done through regular contact via phone calls, review meetings and parents’ evenings. School will endeavour to listen to concerns parents may have regarding their child’s education and in turn help school to develop its provision for SEND.
Please contact the school with regard to any additional needs and make an appointment to see our SENCO: Katy Nesom
If you would like to discuss your SEND requirements in detail please contact the school to arrange an appointment.
