SEN Support and EHCPs
Once a child’s needs have been evaluated, the relevant support will be introduced. High quality teaching is our first step in responding to pupils who have SEND. This may be in the form of interventions, adaptations to teaching or introducing additional learning aids. When a child has several interventions introduced, a One Page Profile and Holistic Action Plan will be created to ensure all their needs are met effectively. All teachers and support staff who work with the pupil will be made aware of their needs, the outcomes sought, the support provided, and any teaching strategies or approaches that are required. We will regularly review the effectiveness of the support and interventions and their impact on the pupil’s progress.
For some children, a One Page Profile will be introduced without a Holistic Action Plan to highlight the reasonable adjustments in place within the classroom. This will support transition.
Children receiving SEN support will have two documents created to summarise their need and the targetted support they are receiving. These are:
One Page Profile
Holistic Action Plan
If your child is receiving SEN support and is not making progress over a period of time or if they have multiple barriers to learning that significantly impact their everyday life in school, we may discuss applying for an EHCP. An EHCP can be applied for by parents or a SENDCO and the same information is submitted. Sometimes EHCP will be discussed ahead of a phased transfer to a new setting to ensure your child's needs are clearly understood.
