Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)
Saint Lawrence School is an inclusive school and we work hard to meet the needs of all our children. High quality teaching is available to all children, including those with additional needs. We use many practical resources (including technology) to support our children and encourage them to be the best they can be.
Mrs S. Thornton - SENCO
Class teachers are responsible and accountable for the progress and development of all pupils in their class. We work hard as a school to ensure that all additional adult support in the classroom is deployed effectively. Where a child is not making the expected progress, the class teacher will work alongside the SENDCO, parents and external agencies (where appropriate) to plan tailored support.
We follow the Assess, Plan, Do, Review cycle to ensure all children are monitored closely and make progress. We use Support Plans, where appropriate, which are reviewed with the child and parents termly. We do not label any child by so-called ‘ability’.
All children are encouraged to achieve their best and become confident individuals living fulfilling lives. Rather than a belief in a fixed ability, we believe in the opportunity for all pupils to succeed if taught and assessed effectively.
Some children do experience learning difficulties or may be in need of extra help, for whatever reason, in order to have equality of access to the curriculum. Our Inclusion Leader acts as the link between parents, staff and support services in order to ensure that the needs of all our children are met. The school’s Inclusion Policy sets out in detail our philosophy and practice. Parents will be informed at all stages of the process when their children are involved.
