What kind of curriculum and additional provision do you offer?

All pupils follow the National Curriculum at a level and a pace that is appropriate to their abilities. Our SEND philosophy places SEND children at the heart of personalised learning and our curriculum is tailored to meet individual pupils needs. At times and when it is felt appropriate, modifications to the curriculum may be implemented. To successfully match pupil ability to the curriculum at Esh Winning Primary School we remain committed to:

A range of teaching and learning styles
Differentiated learning materials
Access to ICT and Technology
Additional in class support
Additional out of class support
Many Enrichment and Enjoyment opportunities to stimulate and motivate learning
Flexible groupings – including small group support work
An innovative and supportive curriculum
The appropriate use of rewards and sanctions
A broad range of extra-curricular activities
Assessment procedures that emphasise pupils’ strengths and achievements

Some examples of additional provision which could be suitable for a child with SEND could include:

Some individual teaching, following dedicated programmes to address specific needs, e.g. reading and spelling difficulties, e.g. ‘Hornet’ programmes or those directed by Educational Psychologists, Speech Therapists or the Learning Support Service.
Additional resources to enable better access to the curriculum, e.g. seating/writing apparatus that have been suggested by professionals
