Special Educational Needs

Special Educational Needs

Special Educational Needs is often referred to as SEN. It is a common term in education for idenitfying thos individuals who require more particular provision and may need to work in smaller groups or receive more dedicated adult support at some stage in their time at the school. 

Our aim is to identify areas where children may be have a special educational need at an early stage.We identify pupils using OCC guidance, and inform parents if we think thier child requires additional support. We assess all children regularly and plan for their provision in class and any additional interventions needed .For pupils on the SEN register, this is recorded in a pupil profile. Progress is reviewed and outcomes agreed three times in the school year with parents and children. We aim to work closely with parents and children, respond to any concerns and celebrate achievements. Success for all pupils can come in many different forms. At St Peter's, we believe in celebrating the whole child and their talents, strengths and individualities, whatever they may be.
