How are your childs needs identified |
New intake students in year 7. a)Primary Liaison Feeder primary schools are contacted and visited prior to transfer. Any student who has an “learning difficulty” who are SEN Support or have an EHCP is referred to the SENCO. The SENCO then visits the schools and the students and where possible parents. In the spring of Year 6 the LA will notify the school about which students are coming to us with an ECHP. Where practicable the SENCO attends their Annual Review to ensure a smooth transition is made. Pupils are also offered a place on our Pyramid Programme, where in the summer term they attend school once a week for approximately 6 weeks. During this time they are shown around, meet other students who are coming and students who are already attending the school. b)Initial Screening
