We have 20 children on the SEND register, 14% of the school, which is slightly higher than national average (12.6%). 4 of our pupils have an EHCP; 3 children are awaiting assessment for an EHCP, which is just below the average of 4%.

What can you do

The class teacher primarily has responsibility for identifying children who have SEN through their observations, assessments and daily interactions. Initial concerns will always be shared with parents as well as the SENCo; initial screening and descriptors will be completed. If you feel your child may have Special Education needs, you can also make an appointment to speak with the class teacher to discuss your concerns.

The Governing Body in co-operation with the headteacher has a legal responsibility for determining the policy and provision for pupils with SEN.
