1 Policy Document General Principles SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS 1. Introduction At the King s School, we are committed to offering an inclusive curriculum to ensure the best possible progress for all of our pupils whatever their needs or abilities. Pupils have special educational needs if they have any difficulty in accessing education and if they need any special educational provision to be made for them, that is anything that is additional to or different from what is normally available in schools in the area '. The specific objectives of our SEN policy are as follows: to identify students with special educational needs and disabilities and ensure that their needs are met to ensure that students with special educational needs and disabilities are able to join in with all the suitable activities of the school to ensure that all learners make the best possible progress to ensure parents are informed of their child's special needs and that there is effective communication between parents and school to ensure that learners express their views and are fully involved in decisions which affect their education to promote effective partnership and involve outside agencies when appropriate. The success of the school's SEN policy will be judged against the aims set out above. Annual success criteria will be reviewed and the Governing Body's Annual Report will detail the successful implementation of the policy and the effectiveness of the provision made. The Governing Body will ensure that it makes appropriate special educational provision for all pupils identified as in need of it. The named SEN coordinator (SENCO) for the school is Miss C Baines. A member of the Governing body, currently Mrs Helen Bath, takes a special interest in SEN, although the Governing Body as a whole is responsible for making provision for pupils with special educational needs. The SENCo has a teaching qualification and is currently studying towards the National Award in SEN Co-ordination. This is a masters level course. We also employ teaching assistants who have successfully attained the status of Higher Level Teaching Assistant and some who have successfully attained a Foundation Degree in Learning Support. All teachers are teachers of special educational needs, however, within Learning Support the team offer an alternative study area whereby students who require additional, small group provision can receive this help in a quiet, nurturing environment. Learning Support staff work to help all students with special needs both with and without statements. Learning Support tries to address the needs of the following: Students with specific literacy difficulties. Students with both long and short term learning difficulties Students with short term emotional and behavioural difficulties. Students with medical problems leading to them requiring extra support within school. Special Educational Needs Policy Page 1 of 7
2 Students with a statement of SEN who may require specialist help regarding mobility or access to the curriculum due to a physical/ medical impairment. Some students have significantly greater difficulty in learning than the majority of students of their age. These problems may be permanent or last for only a short time. Some students have difficulties, which either prevent or hinder them from making use of the facilities provided. All students have an equal opportunity to participate in the full school curriculum and all other activities. Students with special needs are encouraged to be independent and take responsibility within the school. Everyone in the school, governors, staff, students and parents has a positive and active part to play in achieving this aim. Governors by fulfilling their statutory duties to students with special educational needs, by securing the appropriate resources, and by establishing a policy which has regard to the code of Practice. Staff by acting on the principle that every member of staff is directly responsible for meeting the needs of all students. By working in partnership with the Curriculum Area Manager for Learning Support/SENCo, students, parents and other agencies, by participating in appropriate training. Students by having their wishes about their own needs regularly sought and carefully considered, and by all students treating their peers with respect. Parents through consultation, and by working in partnership with the school to help meet their child s needs. 2. Particular Roles and Responsibilities Miss C Baines Curriculum Area Manager for Learning Support Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator (SENCo) Mrs Helen Bath Named Governor with responsibility for special needs.

3 Mrs J Mill/ Mrs S Hemraj Teaching Assistants with special responsibility for Science and Maths 3. Home School Partnership The school and consequently the Learning Support Curriculum Area seeks to keep parents informed at all times and to consult them appropriately. No decision should be made regarding outside agencies without consulting parents. Conversations will be noted and it will be the practice to record details in a letter which will be sent home. The Curriculum Area Manager for Learning Support will attend all Parent/ Teacher Consultations Meetings if Learning Support values the input of parents of students with special needs and aims to get to know them, encouraging them to ask questions and discuss their youngster. Working together more than doubles the effect of working apart. Parents will be sent a copy of their youngster s IEP and invited to comment. The school understands and recognises that the failure of a parent to participate in the partnership does not indicate a lack of interest or willingness. The school keeps a record of all parents and carers. Where this involves adults in more than one household we deal directly with the parent who has day to day responsibility for the student. We seek to involve all parents and carers, recognising that this may on occasions require sensitivity. 4. Behaviour Students with special educational needs are not exempt from the usual expectations concerning behaviour and the range of sanctions which the school may employ. 5. Teachers All teachers are teachers of students with special educational needs. Teaching such students is a whole-school responsibility, requiring a whole-school response. Central to the work of every class and every subject is a continuous cycle of planning, teaching, assessment and evaluation that takes account of the wide range of abilities, aptitudes and interests of the students. The majority of students will learn and progress within these arrangements. However, for students with special educational needs, there may be a need to provide an enhanced level of provision that supports and enhances their learning abilities. 6. Identification and Provision a) Before arrival at The King s School Communication from the LA named officer. Close liaison with feeder primary schools. Students with identified SEN, including statements, who are coming to The King s School may be invited to visit the school on more than one occasion. Consideration of SATs results and other data. b) In the first term after arriving Close liaison between curriculum areas and SENCO. Observation during lesson time by either a TA, SENCO, or teacher. Concerns expressed by form teacher. Concerns expressed by parent/guardian. Tests administered during these early stages. Special Educational Needs Policy Page 3 of 7

Any complaints about general or specific provision will be referred to the Head teacher in the first instance. 11. Admissions Policy The currently agreed admissions policy of the Governors makes no distinction as to students with SEN. The aim of the school is to meet the needs of any child whose parents wish to register at the school. In the case of students with a statement, the SENCo will work closely with the LA named officer in coming to a decision about the most appropriate provision for the student. No student is refused admission solely on the grounds that he/she has special educational needs. The SENCo will work closely with the SENCo s in the primary feeder schools in coming to a decision about the most appropriate provision for students with SEN.Parents or carers seeking the admission of a pupil with special educational needs are advised to approach the school well in advance so that consultations can take place. The school does not have a special unit. 12. The Individual Education Plan (IEP) Each term the SENCo will produce a register which will contain the names of pupils who are deemed to have a special need within the school. The SENCo will distribute this register to staff and Governors. The SENCo will then prepare an Individual Education Plan for many of these pupils. The IEP will be aimed at providing information for staff and parents. Staff and pupils will be encouraged to work towards meeting the detail of provision and guidance set out on the IEP. The IEP will be sent home and parents invited to comment upon them. For pupils who have statements of SEN, in addition to the review of IEPs, their progress and the support outlined in their statement will be reviewed annually and a report provided for the Local Education Authority. If a pupil makes sufficient progress a statement may be discontinued by the Local Authority. The school will liaise with the Local Authority and other agencies to arrange Transition Plans for students with Statements (and other pupils with SEN who may benefit from Transition Planning) in Year 9, and will ensure that these Transition Plans are reviewed annually as part of the Annual Review process. When pupils move to another school their records will be transferred to the next school within 15 days of the pupil ceasing to be registered, as required under the Education (Pupil Information) Regulations Access Facilities The school is paying close attention to the 2002 Disabled Discrimination Act All areas of the school have one entrance provided with a ramp. Staff have been informed of the provisions of the DDA and ongoing discussion takes place to ensure that all reasonable adjustments to the school that can be made, will be made to increase accessibility for the disabled. A lift provides access to the IT rooms and to the Humanities rooms in the Humanities block. Lifts provide access to the upstairs Science labs and the upstairs Languages 6 th Form block. The oldest part of the school and the Tower are not accessible to wheelchair users. Complaints The Governors would expect all complaints to be resolved in discussion with the senior staff and parents are invited to contact the school directly.
