SEN Slide 3: Students with SEN are divided into 2 categories: School Action: those who can be helped by staff and resources that we already have in school. This applies to most of the students with SEN School Action Plus: this means we need to ask for advice from specialists on a regular basis. The specialists must provide a written report every year. Slide 4: A Statement This means that the Local Education Authority has issued a legal document, setting out the student’s needs in detail and what the school must do in order to meet them. It is reviewed every year. Slide 5: How does it work at WBS then? A student is not making progress A Statement is issued by the Council School Action Plus: Outside agencies are brought in. School Action: The school puts in help and resources The tutor and the class teachers work hard to see if this is a temporary problem We have counsellors, teaching assistants, behaviour specialists, autism specialists, dyslexia specialists and speech specialists on staff. We can access advice from the educational psychology service, Sensory Support Services and Health We put in the help that the council says is needed. There is a yearly meeting to look at the progress made. Slide 6: We keep a list of all the children who have SEN. Every teacher has a copy. When students arrive in Year 7, we test their reading, spelling and maths Slide 7: What exactly could School Action Mean at WBS? An IEP, an invite to Games Club at lunch, Homework club, spelling or reading programmes, 1:1 for short sessions, small-group teaching, a different timetable, exam help, special paper or pens, withdrawal from lessons, dyslexia screening, monitoring report, counselling sessions, use of a word processor in class, an extra adult in the classroom – though we try not to sit with them. Most students make progress at this stage Slide 8: As we have so many specialists in-house, this can often mean that a child who was School Action Plus at primary school, only needs to be School Action at WBS. We do not buy in from LSATs or BSATs. We are able to screen for dyslexia and exam concessions. Students will mostly have an IEP to inform staff of their needs. Slide 9: What is an IEP? It is a INDIVIDUAL EDUCATION PLAN. As soon as students need something that is “additional to and different from” what most students receive, they usually have one. Slide 11: What might School Action Plus Look Like at WBS? We might get advice from: Hearing Services, Visual Services, Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy, Anger Management Specialists, Social Workers, Mental Health, psychologists, Connexions (Careers service), the police, local special schools’ outreach service, to name but a few… Slide 12: What would a statement look like at WBS? Most students with this level of need already have statements when they come from Primary school. If a student is not making progress, the school OR THE PARENTS can ask the council to carry out an assessment A statementing panel meets regularly to decide if the council WILL assess the child. If the council decides not to assess, the parents can appeal this decision. Slide 13: What does this assessment involve? Educational advice from the school Parental comments Educational Psychological advice Health advice (for instance: hearing, vision, coordination, speech, medication for ADHD, Mental Health issues etc) Advice from any other professionals as needed It can take up to 6 months Slide 14: A statement is a legal contract between the parents and the council – the school can only be a witness. Near the end, a provisional statement is sent to the parents to see if they agree with it. Parents can appeal the statement if they disagree. If everyone agrees, the statement will be issued and the school has to put in the resources the council has written down. Typical statements could include: 12 hours of in-class support, a key worker, a daily maths programme. Slide 15: All this is complex and there is an independent service designed to support parents: You do not have the permission to view this presentation.
