1 Gladstone Primary School Special Educational Needs and Disability Policy Date Approved by Governors March 2015 Date for next review March 2016

2 Policy to Promote the Successful Inclusion of Pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities This policy complies with the statutory requirement laid out in the SEND Code of Practice 0 25 (2014) 3.65 and has been written with reference to the following guidance and documents: Code of Practice 0 25 (July2014) SEND Information Report Regulations (2014) supporting pupils at school with medical conditions April 2014 urriculum in England Key Stage 1 and 2 framework document Sept 2013 This policy was created by the school s Inclusion Team with the SEND Governor in liaison with the SLT, all staff and parents of pupils with SEND - in consultation with fellow SENDCos in our Cluster. CONTACT DETAILS Inclusion Lead: Mrs Sue Leeks - Leadership Team Office: ext: 206 / 307 Inclusion Team: Mrs Sue Leeks KS1 Mrs Jo Moore EYFS Office: ext: 206 / 307, including those with SEND. Gladstone School provides a broad and balanced curriculum for all children. The National Curriculum is the starting point for planning that meets the specific needs of individuals and groups of children. When planning, teachers set suitable learning challenges and respond to children s diverse learning needs. A minority of children has particular learning and assessment requirements that could create barriers to learning. These requirements are likely to arise as a consequence of a child having additional needs. Children may have additional needs either throughout or at any time during their school career. This policy ensures that curriculum planning and assessment for children 2

3 with additional needs takes into account the type and extent of the difficulty experienced by the child. SECTION 2 AIMS We aim to raise the aspirations of and expectations for all pupils with SEND, and our school provides a focus on outcomes for children and not just hours of provision/support. To enable children to feel they are valued members of the class, school and community. Objectives: 1. To identify and provide for pupils who have special educational needs and additional needs. 2. To work within the guidance provide in the SEND Code of Practice, To operate a whole pupil, whole school approach to the management and provision of support for special educational needs. 4. To provide a team of Inclusion Coordinators who will work with the SEND Inclusion Policy across the whole school: EYFS, KS1 and KS2. 5. To provide support and advice for all staff working with special educational needs pupils. 6. To provide good quality teaching and learning experiences which engage and support SEND pupils to make good progress. 7. To ensure pupils and parents have a voice in the process. SECTION 3 IDENTIFYING SEND: The Code of Practice suggests that pupils are only identified as SEND if they do not make adequate progress once they have had appropriate intervention and/or adjustments in addition to good quality personalised teaching. At school once an SEND concern is raised about a child, by a parent, the child themselves or a member of staff, the teacher of that child will commence the graduated approach. (assess, plan, do and review). The Code of Practice describes the 4 broad categories of need: Communication and Interaction Cognition and Learning Social, Emotional and Mental Health Sensory and/or Physical needs These four broad areas give an overview of the range of needs that should be planned for. The purpose of identification is to work out what action the school needs to take, not to fit a pupil into a category. At school we identify the needs of pupils by considering the needs of the whole child which will include not just their special educational needs. 3

4 There are a number of non SEND factors which may impact on progress and attainment: settings and schools provided under current Disability Equality legislation these alone do not constitute SEND) eing a child of Serviceman/woman SECTION 4 A GRADUATED APPROACH TO SEND SUPPORT: Our school identifies children with special educational needs/disability (SEND) by: Relevant information received from previous settings. Relevant information received during home visits. Regular assessment of pupils progress. Termly parental consultation meetings and other opportunities as needed. Class teacher raising concerns and discussing with/referring to the Inclusion Team. Carrying out individual assessments. Seeking advice from other professionals and/or making referrals to outside specialists where appropriate. Children are recorded on our Additional Needs Register in line with the Peterborough Local Offer Levels of Needs. Teachers are responsible and accountable for the progress and development of the pupils in their class, including where pupils access support from Teaching Assistants or specialist staff. High quality teaching, differentiated for individual pupils, is the first step in responding to pupils who have or may have SEND. Additional intervention and support cannot compensate for a lack of good quality teaching. However these interventions will closely monitor progress and review the effectiveness of this. The Leadership Team and the Induction Team carry out lesson observations and learning walks. The Leadership Team and the Induction Team carry out Learning Scrutinies including Planning. Regular Pupil Progress Meetings. Reviewing and measuring progress of Intervention Programmes. Reviewing achievement with staff and parents at Parent Consultation meetings. Termly/annual reviews of Coordinated Plans and Education Health Care Plans/Statement of Special Educational Needs. 4

5 How does your school decide whether to make special educational provision? This will involve the Teacher, Teaching Assistants (Early Years, Inclusion, Families and Interventions Teams), Inclusion Team and parents. They will consider all of the information gathered from within the school about the pupil s progress, alongside national data and expectations of progress. This should include high quality and accurate formative assessment, using effective tools and early assessment materials. For higher levels of need, describe your school s arrangements to draw on more specialised assessments from external agencies and professionals. The Inclusion Team meet frequently to plan, assess and review the special educational needs and additional needs in our School. Decisions regarding appropriate referral to Specialist Services are taken collectively. For a comprehensive list of services available, please refer to the Gladstone Primary School Offer document. For children with continuing provision, the supporting staff and the Inclusion Team liaise with Specialists to monitor progress and plan next steps. Pupils are placed on our Additional Needs Register according to their provision needs. Our ASSESS PLAN - DO REVIEW cycle is managed by Pupil Progress Meetings, Parent Consultation meetings and Provision Mapping for SEND pupils. Parents, children and families are involved in these discussions both formally and informally. MANAGING PUPILS ON THE ADDITIONAL NEEDS REGISTER The core expectation is that the class teacher is responsible for evidencing progress according to the targets described in the provision map. The Inclusion Team review provision termly following Pupil Progress Meetings. Children are recorded on our Additional Needs Register in line with the Peterborough Local Offer Levels of Needs and adjusted accordingly. We endeavour to meet the needs of all children by ensuring that they are in the appropriate setting. There are a range of key services/specialists that can be accessed through given pathways, usually following a diagnosis eg Colleagues working in Health. Our school accesses the following services: Educational Psychology Service (EP) Speech and Language Therapy Service (SALT) Southfields Enhanced Resource for Speech and Language School Nurse Service and Community Paediatricians Diabetes Nurse Team Autism Outreach Team Paediatric Occupational Therapy Service (OT) Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) Physiotherapy Service 5

6 Matley Enhanced Resource provision Sensory Support Services for visual and hearing impaired pupils Jack Hunt School Unit:Hearing Impaired support Pupil Referral Units for social and emotional needs. Referral to the Specialist Services by the Inclusion Team is always with the full cooperation of Parents/Carers and is communicated with the child appropriately. SECTION 5: CRITERIA FOR EXITING THE ADDITIONAL NEEDS REGISTER School monitors progress and attainment and when barriers to learning are overcome the child may no longer receive additional SEND provision. Decisions are made during Pupil Progress Meetings with Class Teacher, Senior Leader and Inclusion Team member. This will be shared with Parents and pupils at the Parental Consultation Meeting/Individual Meeting. The Nurture Rooms are available on both sites for children who may need additional support particularly in managing their emotions and feelings.
