1 RATIONALE (SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS) Phoenix College s entire client base are statemented as having SEN. The addressing of these needs is embodied in all Policies and Practices in the school. These include: The structure and delivery of the curriculum; The management of behaviour; The assessment, monitoring and recording of learning and achievement. WHY IS THERE A NEED FOR A POLICY? The following requirements:- The Governors have a statutory requirement to publish and report on their Policy for students with SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS. The school must have an SEN Policy which is readily available to parents. The school s ANNUAL REPORT must contain details on the implementation of an SEN Policy. The Policy must be linked to STATUTORY DOCUMENTS (Code of Practice, Children s Act, Social Inclusion). All the above requirements are subject to inspection through the OFSTED INSPECTION FRAMEWORK or H.M. INSPECTION SERVICES or equivalent. In addition to meeting legal requirements the SEN Policy should have the following potential benefits: Shared understanding of the meaning of SEN Agreement on how to meet SEN Provides stability (in case of staff replacement or redeployment) Reinforces school values and ethos Influences the distribution/allocation of school resources Clarifies and makes consistent any agreed systems used to manage the education and care of the pupils
