  1. Additional Educational Needs • “Inclusion is a process of identifying, understanding and breaking down barriers to participation and belonging” (Early Childhood Forum, 2003)

  2. Additional Educational Needs • Our aim is to support and work with the whole school: - to provide an environment that promotes equality and inclusion; - to provide education, for all pupils, that is accessible, interesting and worthwhile; - to support pupils – emotionally and academically.

  3. Additional Educational Needs CODE OF PRACTICE STAGES • Stage 1 Class teacher has a concern and monitors progress. • Stage 2 In-school provision e.g. additional/extra support e.g. in-class support, withdrawal etc. • Stage 3 Teachers and SENCo are supported by external specialists and possible referral to educational psychologist. • Stage 4 the Board considers the need for a statutory assessment. • Stage 5 the Board issues a statement.

  4. Additional Educational Needs The Register (Code of Practice) • Pupils are placed on the register due to information from their previous primary school, educational psychologist etc. • If your child is placed on the register in Year 8, a letter is sent out in September. • If there is a concern from a class teacher, parent or from testing that has been carried out then a child may be placed on the register at stage 1 or moved to a higher stage. • All pupils on the register are constantly reviewed – they will move off, on, up or down depending on their need. • If further involvement from the educational psychologist is required it is only ever pursued with parental agreement. • Remember the register is a record/history of support/intervention offered to your child and it should never have any stigma attached to it.

  5. Additional Educational Needs Support • At secondary level we aim to provide as much inclusive support as possible. Examples below: • We review and look at dyslexia friendly strategies for the classroom. • Classroom assistance as provided by WELB. • Year 13 in class support. • Reading Partnership (pupils with specific results in their CAT tests). • Literacy classes with a number of classes. • Social Skills Groups. • Full Time Learning Support Teacher and CA - extra literacy/numeracy support (one to one/small groups). • Lunch time clubs. • Education Plans for all Stage 2-5 pupils. • Annual Reviews for statemented pupils. Support varies depending on needs of the individual child.

  6. Learning Support Department Resource Centre Staff - Mrs McGrath (Learning Support Teacher) & Mrs Catherine Gordon (Classroom Assistant) - One to one/small group support. - Support for pupils with English as an addition language. - Reading Partnership. - Social Skills Groups - Lunch Club.

  7. Additional Educational Needs Exam Concessions • All pupils tested on an annual basis, regardless of whether or not they are on the register. This helps us to monitor progress and offer exam concessions. • If a pupil has a score at a particular level they may be able to make use of concessions e.g. extra time and readers.
