At High Lane, we aspire for all our children to become curious learners, and resilient and confident members of the community, preparing them for moving towards high school and beyond. We believe it is vital that children with SEND have their needs identified as soon as possible and any reasonable adjustments provided at the earliest opportunity so that those with SEND can make expected, or better than expected, progress.
There are four broad areas of Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities identified within the SEND Code of Practice (2015), and provided for within our school. The areas of need are shown below, with some examples commonly associated with each.
In our school, we have experience of supporting a range of Special Educational Needs: Autism, ADHD, hearing impairments, visual impairments, sensory processing difficulties, social and emotional difficulties, and speech, language and communication needs.
All our children receive ‘quality-first teaching’ - this means that we use a wide range of teaching and learning approaches, as well as learning objectives that are set for all children within a curriculum matched to their needs. Quality-first teaching through our ‘universal approach’ is the first step in supporting children who may have SEND. If a child is deemed to require support that is ‘additional to and different from’ their peers, a ‘graduated approach’ is implemented. This approach involves identifying a child’s level of need, carefully planning and then implementing appropriate intervention that enables them to thrive, whilst maintaining a review cycle that ensures provision is effective.
As part of the Children and Families Bill 2014, all schools in Stockport are required to make available their SEND Information Report to families. This details how the school can support children and young people with a special educational need and/or disability (SEND). This document is accessible below.
