SEND
Special Educational NeedsMeeting the needs of all our children
At Grewelthorpe CE Primary School we provide an inclusive environment for all children to enjoy and achieve.
What does SEN(D) mean?
At Grewelthorpe CE Primary School we believe that all children can make good progress when provided with high quality differentiated teaching which takes account of specific learning styles.Children are assessed regularly to ensure that they are making the expected progress and there is a shared responsibility for progress. Teachers meet at least termly with the headteacher to discuss pupil progress during which children identified as not making expected progress are discussed and interventions are planned. For the majority of children these ongoing conversations are sufficient to secure progress.For some pupils however additional SEN support is required. A child can have SEN in one of the four areas of need (as identified in the 2014 SEN Code of Practice):
Cognition and Learning Needs
Emotional, Social and Mental Health Needs
Communication and Interaction
Sensory and/or Physical Needs
Within this section of the website there is a range of information designed to help parents and carers understand the school's approach to supporting children with special educational needs and disabilities. Who do I need to know?In most cases your primary contact will be your child’s class teacher; however there may be times where the education of your child leads to involvement from the SENCo, Miss Wray. If you have any concerns regarding your child then please raise them with the class teacher and/or the SENCo.
To contact Miss Wray please email office@gfschools.co.uk or ring 01765 620631.
