Description

How will our school teach and support children with SEND?

Our school broadly incorporates the principles of the 3 wave approach to intervention:

Wave 1: This is quality first teaching (QFT) which aims to engage and support the learning of all children and young people in an inclusive and cohesive way, and places a strong focus in pupil participation in learning.

Wave 2: Small-group intervention (for example booster classes; LEA or school-based programmes) for children who can be expected to ‘catch up’ with their peers as a result of the intervention.

Wave 3: Specific targeted intervention for children identified as requiring SEN support.

See Appendix 1 of the Local Offer document which details specific details of our support and provision at each wave of intervention and also broken down into specific areas of need.

For those children without an Education, Health and Social Care plan (EHC), teaching and support will involve aspects of all 3 waves of intervention depending on the specific needs of the child. A graduated response to their needs will be initiated that enables the right level of intervention and support when needed. The child will have a ‘My Plan’ which will detail the support needed to meet their additional needs or a ‘My Plan +’ which will also include details of multi-agency support to meet additional needs.

For those children with an EHC plan, their needs are likely to be more and the approach to meeting these needs and ensuring progress will be even more personalised and individualised. Provision and support will be organised around the planned outcomes as detailed in the plan.

A graduated approach is at the heart of our whole school practice as we are continually assessing, planning, implementing and reviewing our approach to the teaching of all children. However, when a special educational need has been identified, this process becomes increasingly personalised. Within our school system, Progress and Support Meetings (PSM) are held three times a year. These meetings involve class teacher, SENDCo and Pastoral Team and involving reviewing the progress made over time as well as investigating any barriers to and gaps in learning. This process then allows us to reflect upon our approaches to meeting the needs of the child and to plan further support and provision to enable improved outcomes where necessary. These meetings always follow the Structured Conversations as this ensures that the views of both parents and children are carefully considered in any decisions made. It may be at this stage that outside agency involvement is requested to provide additional advice and support in decision making around provision for those with SEND.
