SEND Information

Local SEND Offer! - https://stockport.fsd.org.uk/kb5/stockport/fsd/localoffer.page

Our school information report has been written taking account of the 0-25 SEND Code of Practice 2014, the Special Educational Needs and Disability Regulations 2014 and the Children and Families Act 2014.

Definition of Special Educational Needs

Children have special educational needs if they have a learning difficulty that calls for special educational provision to be made for them.

Children have learning difficulties if they:

•                Have a significantly greater difficulty in learning than the majority of children of the same age

•                Have a disability that prevents or hinders them from making use of educational facilities of a kind generally provided for children of the same age in schools within the LA

•                Are under compulsory school age and fall within the definitions above or would do so if special educational provision was not made for them

Children are not regarded as having a learning difficulty solely because the language of their home is different from the language in which they will be taught.

Many children will have special educational needs of some kind at some time during their education.  The majority of these will be overcome although a few children will need extra help for some or all of their time in school.

Aims

As a school we aim to fulfil the principles of the Code of Practice:

•                All children with special educational needs should have their needs met

•                The special educational needs of children will normally be met in mainstream schools

•                The views of the child should be sought and taken into account where ever possible

•                Parents have a vital role in supporting their child’s education and their views should be taken into account

•                Children with special educational needs should have a broad, balanced and relevant education

The school’s policy details how this school will do its best to ensure that the necessary provision is made for any pupil who has special educational needs and that those needs are made known to all who are likely to teach them.  We aim to identify children with special educational needs as early as possible.  We aim to work closely with parents and recognise that partnership with parents can help to identify and recognise underlying causes for the child’s behaviour or needs.

The named person responsible for the co-ordination of SEND provision is Mrs Nicola Clifford.

The Governor attached to SEN for the school is Mrs Cindy Davies.
