Support - SEND
SEND stands for Special Educational Needs
Our Senco is Mrs Booth. She holds the National Award for SENCO (NASENCO). Mrs Booth is responsible for ensuring that children with special educational needs are identified and supported. She liaises with outside agencies, has oversight of assessment, plans interventions and puts together personalised learning plans to enable every child to flourish and learn.
Our SEN provision at Cliff Lane is underpinned by Judith Carter's 7 C's learning portfolio. This approach is used across our Trust and is a strength based approach to supporting children with Special Educational Needs.
Our SEN Main Priorities:
At Cliff Lane we have a whole school inclusive approach towards pupils with SEN.
At Cliff Lane we value the participation and inclusion of parents and carers of children who have SEN (and additional stakeholders, i.e. outside agencies).
At Cliff Lane we have a clear cycle of support for our children with SEN-Pupil Profiles are linked to EHCP’s (wave 3) and the 4 main areas of need (wave 2).
At Cliff Lane we have a whole school approach to the monitoring of SEN, in action, its impact and how we can further support our children with SEN.
At Cliff Lane pupil curriculum participation and well being are of equal importance.
The school works with a number of outside agencies such as The Specialist Education Service Team, our linked Speech and Language Therapist, Occupational Therapists, Play Therapists and the Hearing and Visual Impairments Team.
We also have links with a number of alternative provisions including: The Green Light Trust; Push Forward and Reboot Education.
Please do not hesitate to request a meeting via the school office if you have concerns about your child's learning and progress. It is always good to talk to your child's class teacher first but Mrs Booth is always happy to arrange a phone call or meeting where possible. You can also send her an email using the following address; admin@clifflaneprimary.co.uk
