HAMPTON HARGATE PRIMARY SCHOOL - SEND INFORMATION REPORT

The Local Authority is committed to all pupils, regardless of their specific needs, making the best possible progress in their educational setting which, wherever possible and with the agreement of the family or the young person, will be in a mainstream setting.

All Peterborough’s schools have a similar approach to meeting the needs of pupils with special educational needs and disabilities. Maintained schools have access to a range of professional services provided by the Local Authority which include the Educational Psychology Service, the Autism Outreach Service, the Sensory Support Service and the Specialist Teacher for pupils with ADHD.

Academies and Free Schools within the city also have access to these services though the funding mechanisms differ to those in place for maintained schools.

An inclusive school may offer the following ‘additional and different’ arrangements to support children with SEND. This provision is over and above ‘Quality First Teaching’ which is the entitlement for all children.

Children/ Young People in school will get support that is specific to their individual needs. This may all be provided by the class teacher or may involve:

Advice and support from the School’s Special Educational Needs & Disability Co-ordinator and other members of staff within the school.
Staff who visit the school from the Local Authority central services such as the Educational Psychologist, Specialist Teachers for autism, ADHD or from the Sensory Service (for students with a hearing or visual need).
Staff who visit from outside agencies such as the Speech and Language Therapy (S&LT) Service.

The chart on page 2 provides some general information about the different approaches, interventions and professionals who may be involved where children present with different levels of difficulty and complexity.

A GUIDE TO OUR PROVISION AT HAMPTON HARGATE PRIMARY SCHOOL

A school’s provision for SEND is defined as support which is additional to or different from that which is available to all pupils. This document is intended to give you information regarding the ways in which Hampton Hargate Primary School ensures that children with SEND are educated, wherever possible, in an inclusive environment to enable each pupil to reach his or her full potential.

At Hampton Hargate Primary School we strive to include all children and support pupils with a range of special educational needs, with varying degrees of complexity and varying degrees of impact on their own learning. We support children with the following areas of need:

Communication and Interaction (such as Speech and Language difficulties and Autistic Spectrum Disorders)
Cognition and Learning (such as specific literacy/ numeracy difficulty)
Social, Mental and Emotional Health
Sensory and/or Physical (such as visual or hearing impairment and children with medical needs).

Identification of SEND at our School

Our school identifies children/ young people with special educational needs/ disability (SEND) by	Listening to the child’s concerns and areas they find difficult. Closely monitoring progress through termly tracking and progress meetings. Meeting with class teachers to discuss specific concerns. Engaging with parents to identify any possible areas of need. Establishing good transition meetings across year groups and with new schools. Where appropriate seeking advice from outside agencies where appropriate. In discussion with class teachers, SENDCos and parents, our school's in-house Dyslexia Assessor and Teacher identifies pupils at risk of dyslexia so that early intervention and appropriate adaptations can be made to classroom practice. Pupils who continue to display difficulties, with the permission of parents, are screened from Year 3 and, if appropriate, undergo a full diagnostic assessment. Our school's Dyslexia Specialist works with families and teachers to implement recommendations for support.
We encourage you to raise your concerns by	We have an open door policy and we start each new year with a welcome meeting. Talking to the class teacher or Special Educational Needs & Disability Coordinator (SENDCo) regarding concerns about the child’s needs or progress in school. Contacting the family Support worker. If appropriate using a daily dialogue book.
Our school has specialist provision for children/ young people with	Recommendations from outside agencies.
Support for your Child/ Young Person
The education plan for your child/ young person will be explained to you and overseen by	Class teacher and teaching assistant on a daily basis. SENDCo, for your child’s key stage to review progress and impact of interventions and, where involved, pupil premium teachers.
Staff who may be working with your child/ young person are	Class teacher, Teaching assistants, Pupil Premium teachers, every child a reader teacher, numbers counts teacher, First Class@number teachers, team leaders, SENDCo, Head teacher and Family support worker. Where relevant student teachers will work with the child under the guidance of the teacher. Parent volunteers under the guidance of the class teacher. Outside agencies where appropriate.
We monitor the effectiveness of our SEND arrangements/ provision by	Provision mapping at an individual level, year group level and whole school. Tracking progress through half termly monitoring progress sheets at class teacher level and team leader level. SENDCos analyse team leader reports and monitor impact of intervention linking back to the provision map. Termly book scrutiny and termly lesson observations also identify the effectiveness of the provision for Special Educational Needs Disability (SEND) children. We take into account hard and soft data to monitor the progress of not only academic progress but other areas for example social skills. Meetings with the SENDCos.
The roles and responsibilities of our governors are	To have knowledge of and support the SENDCo with the implementation and monitoring of the SEND policy. To hold ALL staff involved with SEND accountable for the progress and effective impact. SEND link governor having an understanding and awareness of the school development plan and priorities for SEND. A point of contact for parents if they feel the need.
Curriculum Concerns
Our approach to differentiation is to	Identify the specific needs and plan accordingly to ensure the child makes appropriate progress. In some cases, this may require the child working at an individualised curriculum. Offer adult support where needed and where available. Use intervention strategies where necessary.
How we adapt our curriculum	We adapt the curriculum and learning environment for pupils with SEN: Most children and young people will have their special educational needs met in mainstream schools through good classroom practice. This is called Quality First Teaching (QFT). Children with SEND fully participate in the whole curriculum offer and advice is sought to ensure this is achieved in the most effective way. Hampton Hargate Primary school believes that all pupils are entitled to participate in all areas of the curriculum and it is the class teacher’s role, with support when required, to make adaptations to ensure that children with SEN can access the learning. This can mean teachers plan to: Use a range of multisensory techniques. Pre-teaching content or vocabulary Support over-learning of concepts To provide additional apparatus or materials To adapt and adjust resources and materials to make them accessible for students with specific learning difficulties. To provide additional adult support Adapt the classroom displays and resources to make them more accessible. Alter the layout of the classroom to facilitate a need. Help all pupils achieve to the best of their abilities, despite any difficulty or disability they may have. Modify the curriculum to meet individual needs. Ensure that teaching staff are aware of and sensitive to the needs of all pupils, teaching pupils in a way that is more appropriate to their needs. To make suitable provision for children with SEND to fully develop their abilities, interests and aptitudes and gain maximum access to the curriculum. Where needed, the school will provide staff with the appropriate training and advice to ensure adaptations meet the child’s needs. The school actively seeks advice from outside agencies to support our teachers in providing the best possible education for our SEND children. Interventions and their impact are reviewed to ensure that bespoke or targeted additional support delivered, continues to be purposeful and positively impacts on progress and outcomes for pupils. Please also refer to our SEND policy, mental health and wellbeing policy, Equality and diversity policy and the curriculum area of our website.
Extra support is allocated according to	Individual needs of the child/children in a particular class or year group and if the child is entitled to pupil premium support. This support can be short or long term.
