SEND

This policy sets out the framework for SEND provision at the primary schools in the Steel City Schools Partnership, in line with the new SEND Code of Practice July 2014.

The schools provide a broad and balanced curriculum for all children both mainstream and in the Integrated Resource at Fox Hill. In planning teachers set suitable learning challenges and respond to children’s diverse learning needs. Some children have barriers to learning that require particular action by the school.

These requirements are likely to arise as a consequence of a child having special educational needs. Teachers are responsible for the teaching & learning of all pupils, and so take account of these requirements and make provision, where necessary, to support individuals or groups of children and enable them to participate effectively in curriculum and assessment activities. These children may need additional or different help from that given to other children of the same age.
