Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)

At Clough and Risegate Community Primary School we value the abilities and achievements of all our pupils and strive to support all children so that they reach their full potential. Many steps are taken to support children through their learning journey. We recognise that many pupils will have special needs at some time during their school life and believe that, by working together, we can give them the additional support needed so that they are able to achieve their targets.

We aim to:

• Ensure all pupils access a broad, balanced and relevant curriculum
• Provide a differentiated curriculum appropriate to the individual's needs and ability
• Ensure the identification of all pupils requiring SEND provision as early as possible
• Ensure that SEND pupils take as full a part as possible in all school activities
• Liaise with outside agencies, when it is deemed appropriate, in order to access further specialist support for pupils and parents

We will achieve this through:

• Quality first teaching in class supported by a differentiated curriculum
• Additional intervention work with a teacher or support staff, either on a 1:1 basis or in a small group
• In-class support, with adult assistance where appropriate
• Support from specialists using specific programmes and training

Our school aims to build a strong partnership with parents/carers so that all children at Clough & Risegate are happy and reach their full potential.

As of September 2014, all schools are required to publish details of its school offer, detailing support for pupils with special educational needs and/or a disability alongside the Local Offer produced by Lincolnshire local authority.

The Family Services Directory is a valuable tool available to parents to locate local services who may provide assistance www.lincolnshire.gov/ewb
