SEND is an integral part of teaching and learning at Trewidland. Throughout our lessons, we best endeavour to meet the needs of all children including those with special educational needs, in line with the SEND Code of Practice.

“high quality teaching, differentiated for individual pupils, is the first step in responding to pupils who have or may have SEN. Additional intervention and support cannot compensate for a lack of good quality teaching.”  SEN Code of Practice.

The SENDCo at Trewidland is Mr Robin Spencer. We have our own internal system for teachers to monitor children’s progress and adapt teaching and learning as needed which is overseen by Mr Spencer and Mrs Pipe.  As in the SEND Code of Practice, our provision is considered in the four areas of need:

•          Cognition and Learning Difficulties
•          Social, Emotional and/or Mental Needs
•          Communication and Interaction
•          Sensory and/or Physical Needs

If additional support is not making the progress we feel is expected, we will liaise with outside agencies to receive further support. Please be aware that outside agencies have their own criteria’s to meet for a child to be referred. These include:

•          Cognition and Learning Team
•          Physical and Medical Needs
•          Hearing Support
•          Speech and Language Therapy
•          Educational Psychologist
•          School Nurse
•          Family Support Workers
•          And more…
