SEND

Our aim is that all pupils at Stelling Minnis CE Primary School  should be able to achieve their goals with the right support and guidance.

This can be accomplished through many different methods:

  1. The delivery of Quality First Teaching in the classroom to all pupils.
  2. Targets are set which are challenging but achievable.
  3. Staff reflecting on their practice, supporting children’s needs at the time.
  4. The identification of concerns which is followed by communication with families, carers, staff, outside agencies and pupils.
  5. Support through well-developed interventions to enable a child to make expected or accelerated progress.

What are Special Educational Needs?

Many children will experience an SEND of some form during their education. Our school can help those children overcome their barriers quickly and efficiently. However, sometimes children may need some extra help.

A SEND need could mean that a child has:

  • Learning difficulties – especially in English and Maths.
  • Emotional, mental and behavioural problems – making friends or relating to others, behaving appropriately in school or expressing their emotions.
  • Specific learning difficulties – with reading, writing, number work, visual or auditory memory or understanding information.
  • Sensory or physical needs – such as co-ordination, hearing or visual impairment which might affect them.
  • Communication problems – in expressing themselves or understanding what others are saying, meaning or implying.
  • Medical or health conditions – which may slow down a child’s progress or involves treatment which effects their education or well-being.
