- Writing Individual Education Plans (IEPs) to ensure that your child has bespoke targets and provision to help them achieve in our Academy. These targets are reviewed regularly with your child, class teacher, parents/carers and SENDCO and new targets are set.
- Ensuring any intervention is of quality and meets the need of your child, additional from and different to the quality first teaching in the classroom.
- Valuing the pupil voice. Our children are asked regularly about their learning and included in the review process through our ‘All about Me’ sheets.
- Holding regular reviews alongside parents/carers to ensure collaborative learning.
- Being committed to the SEND Code of Practice and ensuring that every child matters.
