SEND Information Report
Children with Special Educational Needs
A child is deemed to have special educational needs if he or she has a significantly greater difficulty in learning than the majority of children of the same age. The school is committed to the early identification of, and provision for children with special needs. We have a clear policy, and a specially designated teacher known as a Special Educational Needs Disability Co-ordinator (SENDCO) to ensure that children with special educational needs get the best service. Ms. Thomas is our SENDCO.
The Children and Families Act 2014 changed the way in which children and young people with Special Educational Needs and disabilities are supported at school and in the community. A new SEND Code of practice for all maintained educational settings, local authorities and health partners was published in July 2014.
Local offer
Every local authority has a “local offer” which informs parent/carers and young people with SEN or disabilities what is provided in their local area, including what to expect from local early years providers, schools, colleges, health and social care. In addition, it will include information on how decisions are made about how services are allocated, how to request a personal budget, how to access more specialist support and how to complain or appeal. Local authorities must involve parent carers, children and young people in developing their local offer.
