Service Description
Service Description:Mainstream Infant school with 210 pupils on roll.
In addition we have a nursery unit providing 26 morning and 26 afternoon places.
Set in a small suburb on the outskirts of the main city of Derby.
The school is all on one level and has a large flat playground.
Prior to entering school, we visit pupils in local nurseries and other pre-school settings. Pupils are offered transition visits to both school and nursery.
We also offer transition visits and liaise with the Junior schools to facilitate smooth transition to Key Stage Two.
If the school or parents have concerns about a child's progress we will consider putting them onto the school's SEND register. This will be with the mutual agreement of all parties. This level of support has a graduated response and is called School Support. This can be in the form of universal support in the classroom, targeted one to one support from staff in school or specialist support from an outside agency. You will be informed and receive an MEP (Multi-agency Education Plan) to explain the support being provided by school and how you can help at home. This plan is usually written by the class teacher.
If a child’s needs exceed this then the option to apply for an Education, Health, Care Plan (EHCP) is discussed. The decision about these does not rest with the school but the Education SEND Team at Derby City Council. If this is seen as the best course of action then the SEND team at school will offer a lot of support and information about the process and complete the required paperwork on your behalf if you so wish. A child who is awarded an ECHP should receive extra funding which can be used to support and assist the child further.
