Code of Practice graduated response

The school adopts the levels of intervention as described in the SEND Code of Practice 2014.
The Code of Practice advocates a graduated response to meeting pupils’ needs. Initial concerns
will be recorded and the child will be monitored. When they are identified as having SEND, the
school will intervene through SEN Support as described below.

SEN support
SEN support is characterised by interventions that are different from or additional to the normal,
differentiated curriculum. SEN support intervention can be triggered through concern,
supplemented by evidence that, despite receiving differentiated teaching, pupils:
? make little or no progress in specific areas over a long period of time
? continue to work at levels considerably below those expected for a child at a similar age.
? continue to experience difficulty in developing literacy/numeracy skills
? show persistent social/emotional/mental health difficulties which are not affected by
appropriate management strategies
? have sensory/physical problems, and make little progress despite the provision of specialist
equipment
? experience communication and/or interaction problems and make little or no progress
despite experiencing a differentiated curriculum
? have communication or interaction problems that impede the development of social
relationships.
