Special Educational Needs (SEND)
We pride ourselves on being a very inclusive school. We aim to personalise learning to allow every child to make progress and be successful. Every child’s attainment is continually assessed and their progress is tracked and evaluated. In this way, we can quickly identify any child with additional needs.
Our Special Educational Needs Information Report is reviewed annually to reflect changes in national legislation and Local Education Authority provision. Our policy details how we identify SEN.
Our latest SEND policy can be downloaded below or from the Policies and Key Documents page.
Parents are consulted and fully involved from the start. Through carefully constructed Personal provision plans , Behaviour Plans or Provision Maps, extra support and opportunities are provided for cognition and learning, communication, social and emotional needs and physical development. Our schools are well resourced to cater for these needs and, when necessary, we have expert external support services and agencies to support us.
Both schools are single storey and are accessible to wheelchair users. We have a disabled toilets and a disabled shower room which includes a second disabled toilet and adjustable changing beds.
The schools’ Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCo) is Helen Clarke. She is available should you want to discuss any concerns or worries about your child. Appointments can be made through the School Office or you could ask your child’s class teacher to arrange a mutually convenient meeting time or you can contact her directly via her email address: hclarke@yattonschools.co.uk
