Our school is an inclusive school which aims to involve all pupils in the wider life of the school. At Moss Valley Primary, we cater for all children with SEN, including children with needs in the following areas:
The Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator (SENCO) oversees the children with SEND and supports teachers and learning support assistants in working with them and providing appropriate strategies and learning experiences.
Our SEND policy is available on our policies & procedures page.
Children with SEND will have an individual education plan (IEP) or individual behaviour plan (IBP) written by class teachers in collaboration with parents. It will specify targets to improve their learning or develop their skills. The IEPs/IBPs are discussed with parents in meetings. They are reviewed 3 times per year after assessments when new targets are written.
Children with SEND are given support to help them to reach their targets. This may be through a different level of activity, support from an adult, extra resources to use, small group work or 1 to 1 work or through interventions. Your child’s class teacher will organise this under the direction of the SENCO.
Throughout the year, the following agencies have supported special educational needs pupils in the school:
Staff in school have had training in the following areas:
Test papers or observations and samples of work are used to assess children’s learning and progress then inputted onto SOLAR or Scholarpack, computerised tracking systems. This system is used by all staff and the SENCO to record assessments, set targets and track progress.
The Governing body review policies and are updated about SEND practice.
We have two Enhanced Resourced Provisions (ERP) on site. One for children with autism (The Orchard) and one for children with global developmental delay (The Acorn). For more information about our ERPs please click here.
