How will the school support my child’s overall wellbeing?
We recognize that some children have extra emotional and social needs. These needs can manifest themselves in a number of ways including behavioural difficulties, anxiousness and being uncommunicative.
All classes follow the Jigsaw PSHE curriculum which integrates PSHE (Personal, Social, Health Education), emotional literacy, social skills and spiritual development in a whole-school approach. Classes also have frequent circle times to support this development. However, for children who find aspects of this difficult we offer nurture provisions run by two highly trained learning mentors.
If your child still needs extra support, with your permission the SENCo will access further support through the Behaviour Support Service.
How are the school’s resources matched to the individual needs of children?
The school identifies the needs of SEN pupils on a provision map. The provision map identifies all support given within the school and is reviewed regularly. Changes are made determined by pupils needs with resources deployed as effectively as possible.
Where a child requires a specialist resource this is usually provided by the prescribing professional. The school provides resources such as writing slopes, pencils grips, reading rulers etc.
