We continuously ensure the provision has a positive impact on the outcomes for all of our children/young people. We do this in a variety of ways, including:
- Robust evaluation of policy and practice
- Work scrutinies are held on a termly basis
- SENCO/SLT/Governor monitoring annually
- Learning walks/Observations by SENCO/ SLT
- Performance management
- LA Health Checks to ensure provision is meeting the needs of the children in our care
- Questionnaires and Feedback from parents
The SENCO’s role is to:
- Oversee the day-to-day operation of the school’s SEN policy
- Advise other teachers on using a graduated approach to ensure the right support is put in place for each child
- Liaise with the relevant Designated Teacher where a looked after pupil has SEND
- Advise on the deployment of the school’s delegated budget and other resources to meet the pupil’s needs effectively
- Liaise with parents/carers of pupils with SEN
- Liaise with and be a key point of contact for external agencies
- Arrange training for staff so they understand your child’s needs
Members of staff have First Aid and Safeguarding training. In addition, our SEND support staff have a wide breath of expertise and training has included Speech and Language, developing visual perception skills, ASD, fine motor programmes, emotional well-being to name but a few.
More details of the SENCO’s role can be found in the SEN Policy which you can find in the School Policies section of our website.
