Introduction
At St Judes, our values of Love, Hope, Forgiveness and Honesty lead us to value all of our pupils and strive to meet
their needs. This may mean that something different or extra needs to be done to support those children who have
Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) in order that they can still:
Have access to a wide and balanced curriculum;
Learn and make progress according to their individual developmental trends;
Become confident individuals living fulfilling lives.
All teachers are teachers of SEND pupils and as such provide quality first teaching which takes account of the particular
individual needs of pupils with SEN within the classroom. The responsibility for the progress of all children remains
with the class teacher but they may ask for advice and support from the Special Educational Needs Co-Ordinator
within the school.
Our SENCO, Mrs Vanessa Smith, leads the team of Pupil Mentors and Learning Support Assistants in school and will
contact outside specialists to assess children and advise on support when required. If you feel that your child has
Special Educational Needs, please contact your class teacher to discuss their support or arrange an appointment to
meet our SENCO.

Communication and Interaction

This may be a delay in a childs listening or speaking skills, their ability to communicate and
interact with their peers. Children with an Autistic Spectrum Disorder including Aspergers
may have needs in this area.

Cognition and Learning

Some children learn at a slower pace even with appropriate differentiation, which will lead
to a moderate or severe learning delay. Others may have specific learning difficulties such as
Dyslexia.

Back to Needs

School SEN

Social, Emotional and Mental Health Difficulties

Some children may be withdrawn or display disruptive behaviour caused by underlying
issues such as anxiety or depression. Others may have disorders such as Attention Deficit
Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD).

Back to Needs

Sensory and/or Physical needs

This will include children with visual, hearing or multi-sensory impairment and those who
need support with fine and gross motor skills or other disability that means they need
support with movement or self-help skills such as toileting.

Levels of Support Available to meet your childs

Special Educational Needs
St Judes measures the progress and attainment of all its children on a regular basis and arranges
opportunities for parents to meet with class teachers to discuss this.
If a child is not making the progress we would expect, an early discussion will be had with the parents and
where suitable with the child. At this time the desired outcomes for the child will be agreed along with the
views and wishes of both parents and child. It will then be agreed if the childs needs can be met by adapting
normal practice within the school (Core Offer) or whether something additional or different is required.

How does St Judes Primary know if children need extra help?

Children may be identified as having SEN through a variety of ways including the following:

Liaison with Nursery/previous school

Child performing below age expected levels
Concerns raised by parent
Through termly Pupil Progress Meetings held between the Teachers / SENCO and Head teacher
Concerns raised by teacher for example behaviour or self-esteem is affecting performance
Liaison with external agencies eg. physical
Health diagnosis through paediatrician/doctor

As a school we measure childrens progress in learning against national expectations and age related expectations.
The class teacher continually assesses each child and notes areas where they are improving and where further support is needed. As a school, we track
childrens progress from entry at Nursery or Reception through to Year 6, using a variety of different methods including National Curriculum levels and the
Foundation Stage Profiles.
Children who are not making expected progress are picked up through our Pupil Progress Review meetings with the class teacher, SENCO and Head / Deputy
Teacher. In this meeting a discussion takes place concerning why individual children are experiencing difficulty and what further support can be given to aid
their progression.

Back to FAQ (1)

School SEN Offer

What should I do if I think my child may have Special Educational Needs?

Talk to us contact your childs Class Teacher first.

If you require more information contact our SENCO or Head Teacher.
We pride ourselves on building positive relationships with parents. We are open and honest with parents and hope
that they are able to do the same with us.

Back to FAQ (1)

School SEN Offer

How will St Judes Primary School staff support my child?

Our SENCO/Inclusion Manager will closely monitor all provision and progress of any child requiring additional
support across the school. The class teacher will oversee, plan and work with each child with SEND in their class to
ensure that progress in every area is made. There may be a Teaching Assistant (TA) working with your child either
individually or as part of a group, if this is seen as necessary by the class teacher. The regularity of these sessions will
be explained to parents when the support starts.

Back to FAQ (1)

School SEN Offer

How will the curriculum be matched to my childs needs?

All work within class is pitched at an appropriate level so that all children are able to
access according to their specific needs.
Typically this might mean that in a lesson there would be three different levels of work
set for the class, however on occasions this can be individually differentiated.
The benefit of this type of differentiation is that all children can access a lesson and
learn at their level.

Back to FAQ (1)

School SEN Offer

How do we know if the support or strategies used have had an impact?

In school we will often use Individual Education Plans (IEP) or Individual Behaviour
Plans (IBP) to set targets and review progress. We can use these targets to monitor
pupils progress academically against national/age expected levels and update or adjust
the IEP. This may involve updating into smaller steps or using a different approach to
ensure progress is made.
Children may move off of the SEN register when they have caught up or made
sufficient progress.
Back to FAQ (1)

School SEN Offer

How will I know how my child is doing and how will you help me to
support my childs learning?
The Class Teacher will meet with parents at least twice a year (this could be as part of Parents Evening) to discuss your childs
needs, support and progress. For further information the SENCO is available to discuss support in more detail.
We offer an open door policy; you are welcome any time to make an appointment to meet with either the class teacher or
SENCO and discuss how your child is getting on. We can offer advice and practical ways that you can help your child at home.
We believe that your childs education should be a partnership between parents and teachers, therefore we aim to keep
communication channels open and communicate regularly, especially if your child has complex needs.
Your child may have an IEP/IBP in place and therefore the targets set are SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic,
Time scaled) targets with the expectation that the child will achieve the target by the time it is reviewed.
If your child has complex SEND they may have an Education Health Care (EHC) Plan which means that a formal Annual Review
will take place to discuss your childs progress and a report will be written. This can also be done at a six monthly interim
review if changes to circumstances occur or concerns arise.

Back to FAQ (1)

School SEN Offer

How will my child be able to contribute their views?

We value and celebrate each child being able to express their views on all
aspects of school life. This is usually carried out through the School Council
which has an open forum for any issues or viewpoints to be raised.
Children who have IEPs (Individual Education Plans) discuss and set their
targets with their class teacher. If your child has an EHC Plan or an Annual
Review of their EHC Plan then their views will be obtained before any
meetings.
Back to FAQ (1)

School SEN Offer

What support will there be for my childs overall well-being?

We are an inclusive school, we welcome and celebrate diversity. All staff appreciate the importance of children having high selfesteem in order to achieve positive well-being. Here at St Judes Primary we commit to our own values and ensure pupils are able
to develop in a caring, fair and understanding environment.
The class teacher has overall responsibility for the pastoral, medical and social care of every child in their class, therefore this
would be the parents first point of contact. If further support is required, the class teacher can liaise with the SENCO/Inclusion
Manager for further advice and support. This may involve working alongside outside agencies such as Health and Social Services,
and/or the Behaviour Support Team. The school has Pastoral Support Team, who works under the direction of the SENCo, with
vulnerable children during the school day.
The school has a policy regarding the administration and managing of medicines on the school site. Parents need to contact
Reception to discuss this and if agreed complete a form: Parental Agreement for School to Administer Medicines. This may include
medicines for life threatening conditions or required for a long term illness such as asthma and diabetes. In such cases a Care Plan
may be put in place according to the directions of the School Nurse.
School will not take responsibility for other medicines such as cough medicines, however we may be able to administer prescribed
medicines following discussions with parents.

Back to FAQ (1)

School SEN Offer

What specialist services and expertise are available at or accessed by St Judes Primary
School?

Our SENCO/Inclusion Manager is a qualified teacher and is undergoing accreditation through the University of
Chichester.
As a school we work closely with any external agencies that we feel are relevant to individual childrens needs
within our school including: Multi-Agency Behaviour Support (MABS); Health including: School Nurse,
General Practitioners, Child and Adult Mental Health Service (CAMHS), Paediatricians, Occupational Therapist
(OT) and the Speech & Language Therapy (SALT) service. We also work very closely with Social Care and the
Education Psychologists.
Should your child require any form of involvement with an outside agency then the school would immediately
inform you and obtain permission from parents to pursue any kind of professional intervention.

Back to FAQ (1)

School SEN Offer

What training have staff had or going to have?

We have two Pupil Mentors in school who are fully trained to deliver Loss Companions, a bereavement
programme, regularly meet with the Behaviour Support Team and carry out social skills and anger management
groups.
Our LSAs have had training in precision teaching, Catch-Up Literacy and Every Child a Reader. We also have inhouse training on interventions such as Circle of Friends and Social Skills. Relevant LSAs are released to meet
with the Specialist who comes into school and are supported in delivering the programme that is recommended
for the children.
As a staff we have regular training and updates of SEND conditions, medication use and
Resources/Interventions available for our pupils in order to ensure all staff are able to manage pupils
accordingly.

Back to FAQ (2)

School SEN Offer

What are the Governors responsibilities?

We have a Designated Governor for Inclusion, Susie Quinlan, who meets with our
SENCO on a regular basis to discuss changes in provision, needs in school, current
concerns and budget and report back to the governing body.
The Governors are then also able to agree priorities for spending within the SEN
budget with the overall aim that all children receive the support they need in order to
make progress.

Back to FAQ (2)

School SEN Offer

How will my child be included in activities outside the classroom

including school trips?
All children are included in all parts of the school curriculum and we aim for all children to
be included on school trips. We will provide the necessary LSA or adult support to ensure
that this is successful wherever possible.
A risk assessment is carried out prior to any off site activity to ensure everyones health &
safety will not be compromised.
In the unlikely event that it is considered unsafe for a child to take part in an activity, then
alternative activities which will cover the same curriculum areas will be provided in school.

Back to FAQ (2)

School SEN Offer

How accessible is the school environment?

St Judes is a two storey building. The ground floor can be accessed by a wheelchair.
We also have a disabled toilet and disabled parking.
Any other resources needed for access may be assessed by OT and Physiotherapy in
order for us to ensure ease of access and safety for all.
The school is able to liaise with Ethnic Minority Achievement Service (EMAS) who can
at times assist us in supporting our families with English as an additional language.

Back to FAQ (2)

School SEN Offer

How will St Judes Primary school prepare and support my child to join
the school and then transfer to secondary school?
We encourage all new children to visit the school prior to starting when they will be shown around the school and any concerns can be
addressed. For children with SEND we would encourage further visits to assist with the acclimatisation of the new surroundings.
We may need to write a Social Story to ease the transition for pupils with high anxiety and communication difficulties
School / Parents may also feel the need to arrange several transition meetings / sessions between the schools in order to alleviate pupil
concerns
Many of our feeder secondary schools run a programme specifically tailored to aid transition for the more vulnerable pupils.
We liaise closely with staff when receiving and transferring children to different schools ensuring all relevant paperwork is passed on
and all needs are discussed and understood. If your child has complex needs then an Education Health Care Plan review may be used as
a transition meeting during which we will invite staff from both schools to attend.

Back to FAQ (2)

School SEN Offer

How are resources allocated and matched to childrens special

educational needs?

We ensure that all children who have Special Educational Needs are met to
the best of the schools ability with the funds available.
We will often allocate Teaching Assistants who are funded by the SEN
budget to deliver programmes designed to meet groups of childrens needs.
The budget is allocated on a needs basis.

Back to FAQ (2)

School SEN Offer

How is the decision made about what type and how much support my
child will receive?

The Class Teacher alongside the SENCO will discuss the childs needs and
what support would be appropriate.
Different children will require different levels of support in order to bridge
the gap to achieve age expected levels.
This will be through on-going discussions with parents.

Back to FAQ (2)

School SEN Offer

What support is there for improving behaviour, attendance and avoiding

exclusion?
As a school we have a very positive approach to all types of behaviour with a clear reward system that is followed by
all staff and pupils. If a child has behavioural difficulties an Individual Behaviour Plan (IBP) or a Pastoral Support Plan
(PSP) is written alongside the child and parents to identify the specific issues, put relevant support in place and set
targets.
After any behaviour incident we expect the child to reflect on their behaviour with an adult. This helps to identify
why the incident happened and what the child needs to do differently next time to change and improve their
behaviour.
Attendance of every child is monitored on a daily basis by the Pastoral Team. Lateness and absence are recorded
and reported upon to the Inclusion Leader. Good attendance is actively encouraged throughout the school and
rewarded on a termly basis as is improvement in attendance. Families who struggle with attendance and lateness
will be invited to a meeting with the Inclusion Leader and School Nurse if appropriate. We have had many successes
where families were struggling with lateness but are now able to get their children into school on time.
