SEND at Langley Hall
At Langley Hall Primary Academy (LHPA), children will be regarded as having special educational needs if “they have a learning difficulty which calls for special educational provision to be made for them”. This provision can include the involvement of extra teachers, or specific learning materials, special equipment, a different teaching strategy or external advice from specialist support staff e.g. speech and language teachers or Educational Psychologists.
Aims
- Every pupil will have access to a broad and balanced curriculum.
- Pupils will be regularly assessed so that those with special educational needs are identified early and strategies are developed to meet their needs.
- Teachers will be aware that special provision must be made in their planning for pupils with special educational needs in relation to their individual learning plan which will be monitored by the Assistant Principal in line management meetings, year group meetings and regular and ongoing performance management procedures.
- The class teacher together with the Assistant Principal, child and parents will regularly review the educational intervention to assess its impact at least termly.
- A child identified as having special educational needs will be offered a graduated response of support for their special educational need.
- Every child’s strengths will be developed and they will be encouraged to become self-motivated and independent.
- For children with special educational needs, care will be taken to raise their self-esteem, encouraging a positive attitude and belief in themselves.
- Teachers under the guidance of the Assistant Principal will monitor and record the progress of pupils with special educational needs.
- Where deemed necessary, the school will work in partnership with external agencies to ensure the child’s needs are met.
- The Special Educational Needs Policy will be evaluated and monitored by the Executive Head teacher, Governors and the SENCO.
