This is most effectively done by gathering information from parents, primary settings and Education, Health and Care services prior to the child’s entry into the School.

Continuous monitoring of those pupils with SEND by their teachers and, when deemed necessary, specialist teachers, will help to ensure that they are able to reach their full potential.

This will be coordinated by the SENCO (Mrs Emma Maher), Assistant SENCO (Mrs Wendy Jones) and Headteacher (Mr Matthew Higgins) and will be carefully monitored and regularly reviewed to ensure that individual targets are being met and all pupils’ needs are catered for.

This includes supporting them in terms of understanding SEND procedures and practices and providing regular feedback on their child’s progress.

Some of these services will include Speech and Language Therapy, Children, Adult Mental Health Service (CAMHS) and the Network of SENCOs operating in the local area.

This means encouraging relationships with adults in school where pupils feel safe to voice their opinion of their own needs, and carefully monitoring the progress of all pupils at regular intervals. Pupil participation is encouraged through School by wider opportunities such as School council, residential visits, School plays, sports teams and through the Houses: Francis, Margaret, Teresa and Vincent.
