Service Description

Service Description:
A mainstream Community Primary School with 600 pupils on roll.
Refurbishment building work is now complete and the upstairs rooms are accessible by lift as well as three sets of stairs.

We arrange a home visit prior to admission into the Nursery.
If appropriate, we arrange visits for in-year admissions.
We also liaise with all the secondary schools children transition to.

SEND Support - ensures that children identified by the class teacher/AHT Inclusion as needing some extra specialist support in school from a professional outside the school. The support may be from:
- Local Authority central services such as the Specialist Teaching and Educational Teaching Service (STePS), Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Visual Impairment (VI), Hearing Impairment (HI) or Physical Impairment (PI) Team,
- outside agencies such as the Speech and Language Therapy (SaLT) Service.

For your child this would mean:
- your child will have been identified by the class teacher/AHT Inclusion, or you will have raised your worries, as needing more specialist input instead of or in addition to quality first teaching and intervention groups,
- You will be asked to come to a meeting to discuss your child's progress and help plan possible ways forward,
- You may be asked to give your permission for the school to refer your child to a specialist professional such as a Speech and Language Therapist or Educational Psychologist. This will help the school and yourself understand your child's particular needs better and be able to support them better in school.

The specialist professional will work with your child to understand his/her needs and make recommendations, which may include:
- making changes to the way your child is supported in class such as some individual support or changing some aspects of teaching to support them better,
- support to set better targets which will include their specific expertise,
- a group run by school staff under the guidance of the outside professional such as speech and language,
- a group or individual work with an outside professional.

The school may suggest that your child needs some individual support in school. School will tell you how the support will be used and what strategies will be put in place.

This type of support is available for children with specific barriers to learning that cannot be overcome through Quality First Teaching and intervention groups.
