4 available for students with SEND in this school? Quality First Teaching. Subject specific Interventions If students are making below expected they may be offered additional interventions to develop skills in these areas to promote and foster progress. Stage of SEND Code of Practice: SEND Support, which means students have been identified by the SENCO as needing some extra specialist support in school. Most SEND provision at Thornleigh Salesian College is delivered in-house by members of the Learning Support Team. Those students with more complex needs may receive specialist provision from a professional outside the school. This may be from: Ladywood Outreach The Sensory Support Service - for students with a hearing or visual need). Other outside agencies such as the Speech and Language Therapy (SALT) Service Subject teachers build on and extend what students already know, what they can do and what they understand. Subject teachers employ a variety of teaching and learning strategies to ensure that students are fully engaged in learning. Subject teachers implement specific strategies, advised by the SENCO or external agencies, to support the learning and progression of students Subject teachers will track and monitor progress Subject teachers will identify gaps in students understanding/learning and provide additional support to help them progress. Subject teachers will plan and deliver sessions for students with targets to help students make more progress. Specific subject-based interventions are usually implemented on a short-term basis. Students benefitting from SEND Support will have been identified by : the class teachers the SENCO parental / guardian / carer concerns The SENCO will determine if a student needs more specialist input, in addition to Quality First Teaching and subject-based intervention. Parents / guardians / carers will be invited discuss student progress and contribute to plans for further progression. Parents / guardians / carers may be asked to give permission for the school to refer the student to an assessment by a specialist professional e.g. a Speech and Language Therapist or Educational Psychologist. This assessment will help the school, parents / guardians / carers to understand the student s particular needs better and how best to support the student in school and or at home. The specialist professional may suggest a range of recommendations, which may include: Changes to the way students are taught and supported in class Setting of targets related to the expertise of the assessor participating in intervention, run by school staff under the of excellent classroom practice. Any students who have specific gaps in their knowledge and understanding in a particular area of learning. Children with specific barriers to learning that cannot be overcome through Quality First Teaching and intervention groups.
5 What arrangements does Thornleigh Salesian College have for identifying pupils with Special Educational Needs? Stage of SEND Code of Practice: Education Health and Care Plan ( EHCP ) formerly known as a Statement of Special Educational Needs Having an EHCP means that the student needs a particularly high level of individual or small group teaching, which cannot be solely provided from the budget available to the school. Students with an EHCP may also need continued specialist support in school from a professional outside of the school. guidance of the specialist professional e.g. a social skills group Group or individual work with the specialist professional The specialist may advise the school to provide further individual support in school. The SENCO will inform you how the support will be used and what strategies will be put in place. The school or parents / guardians or carers can ask the Local Authority to carry out a statutory assessment of a student s needs. This is a legal process. More details can be found in the Local Authority s Local Offer. The school will submit the request to the Local Authority, which will include information about the student from parents / guardians and carers. If the Local Authority decide the student s needs are complex enough to need a statutory assessment they will ask parents / guardians or carers and all professionals involved with the student child to write reports outlining the student s needs. If the Local Authority do not think the student needs a statutory assessment they will ask the school to continue to provide support, as at the previous stage, from within the school s budget. The Local Authority will also organise a meeting, in school, to draw up a plan to ensure the student will make as much progress as possible. When the reports have all been submitted, the Local Authority will decide if the student s needs are severe, complex and lifelong, requiring more intensive support in school in order for the student to make good progress. If this is the case, they will write an Educational Health and Care Plan. The Educational Health and Care Plan (EHCP) will outline the support the student will receive from the Local Authority. The EHCP will clearly state how the support should be used and what strategies should be put in place. It will also have long and short Students whose learning needs are: Severe, complex and lifelong Need more intensive and individualised support on a longterm basis. term goals for the student. During the summer term, the Lead Learning Mentor / Student Progress Co-Ordinator for Year 7 and SENCO will contact feeder primary schools and request information on all SEND students who may be coming to Thornleigh Salesian College into school in September. These students may be automatically transferred to our SEND Register, dependent on their level of need. Students with SEND are also identified by: KS2 SAT results Year 7 screening tests All year 7 pupils are screened using the following assessments: - Access Reading Test (ART), which informs us of students reading comprehension age.
6 What is the specific offer for students on the SEND Register with identified needs at Thornleigh Salesian College? - Young s Spelling Test, which gives an accurate spelling age. - Cognitive Ability Tests (CATS), which provide scores that can indicate a student s cognitive ability, intelligence and future potential. - Students will also take baseline assessments in all subjects to provide teachers with a starting point for teacher assessment. If a student has additional needs identified by these tests, parents / guardians or carers will be informed of any related interventions.
