How is teaching adapted for children with SEND?

The school follow a graduated approach to SEND and ensure that children are supported at the correct level, for example, SEN support or EHCP. 

Teaching can be adapted in two main ways:

Through quality first teaching in the classroom, using different strategies to ensure all children have full access to the curriculum and to promote achievement and successes.

These can include:

• smaller group work;

• additional adult support;

• peer mentoring and co-operative learning techniques;

• pre-learning opportunities;

• additional visual prompts, supports and scaffolds;

• use of supporting equipment.

Or through the provision of a range of interventions, either in class or a break out space, delivered by the teacher, teaching assistant or other supporting professional from within school or an outside service.

Children with special needs have an individual plan in place (e.g. IEP), outlining targets and strategies to support your child to achive high quality outcomes. Support plans are reviewed regularly with the child and shared with parents.
