Special Educational Needs and Disabilities SEND can be in the areas of: Communication and Interaction Cognition and Learning Social, Emotional and Mental Health Sensory and/or Physical Around one in five children has SEN at some point during their school years. Some children have SEN right through their time in school. Children and young people with SEN all have learning difficulties or disabilities that make it harder for them to learn than most children and young people of the same age.
You know your child best. Your opinions are invaluable in helping us to find the right support for him or her. Don’t worry! There is a lot we can all do to make sure they are happy and learn well at school. Speak to your child’s class teacher. They will make a note of your concerns and make sure they are passed on. Arrange an appointment to speak to the school SENCO (Mrs Humphries). What to do if you think your child may have SEND?
We will talk with you about why we think your child may benefit from SEN Support. We may carry out additional assessments to help us personalise his/her learning. A shared plan will be put in place, with targets and strategies to help them (ITLP). You will be asked for your input into this. They may be offered time in one of our intervention groups. These are usually led by teaching assistants. TAs are trained and experienced in leading the interventions we offer. We may ask for additional input from external experts. You will always be asked for your permission before this happens. What will we do if we think your child may have SEND?
You can find out more about the school’s approach to SEND from: The school’s website Stockport’s Local Offer Website – a ‘one stop shop’ for all things SEND. Or search ‘Stockport SEND’
