How do the children contribute to their provision planning?

The SEND children attending our school are aged 3-11 years so consulting with them to seek their views about how we are meeting their needs has to be age appropriate.

We use the following strategies:

• Have regular meetings and discussions with parents about what we have planned for their child and how to link this with interests and passions demonstrated at home.
• Make close observations during school to identify the types of activities and experiences that most engage each child so these can be developed further and be used to inform future planning.
• Involve SEND children with planning their own activities and encouraging them to share what they would like to learn and participate with.
• Extend any resources that they show a preference for.
• Children are invited to their annual review meeting where they are able to join the discussion about how their learning is going.
• Most importantly, ensure the children with SEND are happy, motivated and make expected levels of progress throughout their time in school.

If you would like to discuss your SEND requirements in detail please contact the school to arrange an appointment.
