School Local Offer

All Bromley Schools are committed to and adopt a similar approach to meeting the needs of all pupils including those with special educational needs. There is a shared expectation that all pupils, regardless of their specific needs, should be offered inclusive teaching which will enable them to make the best possible progress in school and feel that they are a valued member of the wider school community.  

Harris Primary Academy Beckenham Green

Meeting the Needs of Pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities

The School Offer

Harris Primary Academy Beckenham Green is an inclusive school and may offer the following range of provision to support children with communication and interaction, cognition and learning difficulties, social, mental and emotional health problems or sensory or physical needs.

The range of support deployed will be tailored to individual need following thorough assessment by internal or external agencies. It is designed to promote pupils working towards becoming independent and resilient learners and should not be seen in isolation. This document has been co-produced after consultation with key stake holders including: pupils, parents/carers, staff and governors.

Information and Guidance:

Who should I contact to discuss the concerns or needs of my child?

Class teacher

 

 

 

 

 

 

Special Educational Needs Coordinator  (SENCO)

Mr Ellington

 

 

 

 

 

 

Principal 

Mr Ellington

 

 

SEN Governor:

Dr Alison John

 

He / she is responsible for:

Adapting and refining the curriculum to respond to strengths and needs of all pupils. Checking on the progress of your child and identifying, planning and delivery of any additional support.

Contributing to devising personalised learning plans to prioritise and focus on the next steps required for your child to improve learning.

Applying the school’s SEN policy.

If you have concerns about your child you should speak to your child’s class teacher first. You may then be directed to the SENCO.

He is responsible for

  • Coordinating provision for children with SEN and developing the school’s SEN policy
  • Ensuring that parents are:
    • Involved in supporting their child’s learning and access
    • Kept informed about the range and level of support offered to their child
    • Included in reviewing how their child is doing
    • Consulted about planning successful movement (transition) to a new class or school
    • Liaising with a range of agencies outside of school who can offer advice and support to help pupils overcome any difficulties
    • Providing specialist advice and facilitating training to ensure that all staff are skilled and confident about meeting a range of needs.

He is responsible for:

  • The day to day management of all aspects of the school, including the provision made for pupils with SEN

 

She is responsible for:

  • Supporting school to evaluate and develop quality and impact of provision for pupils with SEN across the school

Assessment, Planning and Review:

How can I find out about how well my child is doing?

Ongoing monitoring takes place by class teachers, to identify pupils who are not making progress or who have behavioural and emotional needs which may be affecting their ability to engage in learning activities.

After discussions with key staff and parents, additional support will be put into place to provide enhanced resources and targeted small group and / or individual support to help overcome any difficulties.  The views of the pupil or young person about their support will be given consideration at this stage.

This additional support is documented in a class provision map or Pupil Support Agreement or behaviour support plan. In consultation with the SENCO and parents, short term targets are agreed which prioritise key areas of learning or behaviour to address and by which progress can be measured. Where external agencies are involved, their advice and recommendations are included in these support programmes. Actions agreed take into account each pupil’s strengths as well as their difficulties.

In some cases teaching assistant support may be allocated. This support is deployed to ensure your child can engage in lessons and wider school activities, to facilitate independent learning.

Formal review meetings are held as required.  Parents, relevant external agencies and when appropriate, pupils are invited to this review and their contribution is valued. The impact of support is considered along with the progress towards targets set. Support arrangements will be updated and revised accordingly. If not involved already, this might include referral to external agencies. The outcomes of these meetings will be formally recorded.

If your child is continuing to have significant difficulties, further external expertise may be requested. Additional funding is available for children who meet the criteria. This can be accessed using the Local Authority process and the guidance in the Banded Funding Criteria. Where this is agreed, a Pupil Resource Agreement will be drawn up and implemented with the school’s Educational Psychologist and other professionals where appropriate.  Further details about this process will be explained in the LA Local Offer.

Tests and Examinations: Access Arrangements

For some pupils additional arrangements and adjustments can be made to enable them to fully access a range of tests. This might include additional time, rest breaks or the use of a scribe or word processor. The SENCO will inform you about eligibility and applications for these arrangements. Only tests and assessors authorised by the school can be accepted for access arrangements for public examinations.

 

Curriculum and Teaching Methods (including groupings and interventions):

How will teaching be adapted to meet the needs of my child?

Teachers are expected to adapt teaching to meet the diverse range of needs in each class. Daily planning takes into account individual pupil’s needs and requirements. Differentiation is approached in a range of ways to support access and ensure that all pupils can experience success and challenge in their learning.

Grouping arrangements are organised flexibly with opportunities for both ability and mixed setting to maximise learning opportunities for all.

Additional adults are used flexibly to help groups and individual pupils with a long term goal of developing independent learning skills. Monitoring takes place to avoid pupils becoming over reliant and dependent on this adult support.

Transition:

How will the school help my child move to a new class / year group or to a different school?

Children and young people with SEN can become particularly anxious about “moving on” so we seek to support successful transition by:

When moving to another school:

We will contact the School SENCO and share information about special arrangements and support that has been made to help your child achieve their learning goals.

We will ensure that all records are passed on as soon as possible.

When moving classes / forms in school:

Transition meeting for pupils starting in Reception the term before they start, organised by the Pre Schools with all relevant professionals and parents involved with the child invited.

Visit to new class and a taster sessions with their new teacher.

For identified pupils requiring additional support a social story may be made, with pictures of their new environment to reinforce what will stay the same and what will be different.

An information sharing meeting will take place between the teachers

Year 6-7 transition

The SENCO and/or class teacher will attend the primary/Secondary Transition day meeting to discuss specific need of your child and the nature and level of support which has had the most impact.

In some cases additional multi-agency meetings may be arranged to create a more detailed “transition” plan which may include more visits to the new school and/or additional visits from the new school.

More information about transition can be found by following the link below:

https://www.bromley.gov.uk/special-educational-needs/transition-education

 

Staffing Expertise:

 

How skilled are staff in meeting the needs of my child?

 

An on going programme of training is in place to ensure that teachers and support staff have appropriate skills and knowledge in areas that will improve their teaching and support of children with SEN. Recent training has covered :

MAPA training (positive behaviour support) – January 2018

Harris Conference for all staff – October 2019 and annually

De-escalation training – January 2020 and 2021

Ongoing CPD sessions  - Quality first teaching, widget programmes, TEACHH approach, visual cues.

Our SENCO actively engages with local opportunities to share best practice and keep abreast of current local and national initiatives and policy to support pupils with SEN.

Who do I talk to if I am unhappy with my child’s support or progress?

In the first instance a meeting should be requested with the pupil’s class teacher.

After that either a discussion with the Assistant Principal in charge of that Key Stage and/or the Inclusion Manager would be appropriate.

Finally a meeting with the Principal could be arranged.

If things continue to be unresolved an appointment to see the Governor who oversees special educational needs provision within the school could be arranged
