We have accepted a wide range of students with additional needs including those with physical and emotional needs this year including for the first time, three students with EHCPs requiring statutory support. The attainment and progress of students with SEN is regularly monitored and contact is always made with parents when assessments are needed so we can have a collaborative approach as much as possible.to supporting the students’ academic and social and physical needs.
Most of the building is accessible for students who may use a wheelchair. We have lift access and several disabled toilet areas for student use with appropriate egress plans in place. In addition to this academic access to exam concessions is provided to students who qualify through a vigorous screening programme including provision for students with Vision Impairment, Dyslexia, and emotional needs to ensure all student reach their potential
Curriculum support is provided by 1 full time teaching assistant and 3 agency Teaching Assistants currently employed for students with specific needs. In addition to this the Assistant SENDCO also leads groups under the direction of the SENDCO in literacy catch up sessions and completes the assessments for Access arrangements. For students with a more pronounced literacy need the SEN Consultant can provides intensive specialist teaching. For children with emotional needs such as ASC or SEMH they can access the Autism Outreach Service or the Educational Psychologist as appropriate.
