Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)

Mrs Anna Linsley is our Special Educational Needs and Disability coordinator (SENDCo)
Mrs Helen Casson is our SEND governor

 

All children are welcome in Brunel Primary and Nursery Academy, including those with additional educational needs, and we strive to include every child in all aspects of school life.

 

We aim to identify children who may have additional needs as early as possible. We do this as part of everyday classroom practice as well as by carefully monitoring the results of assessments and by meeting regularly with parents. Teachers and teaching assistants receive regular training to keep their knowledge of special educational needs up to date.

 

Our SENDCo works with the class teachers and teaching assistants to ensure that children with additional needs are able to learn in a way that benefits them best. Support can include:
•         Additional in-class support
•         Flexible groupings, including small group work
•         Access to specific resources
•         Access to outside agencies

 

Outside agencies who help us deliver high quality support for our children include:
•         Speech and Language Therapy
•         Educational Psychology
•         Cognition and Learning Service
•         School Nurse
•         Family Workers

 

If you wish to discuss your child's learning support, your child’s teacher is the first point of call. If you need further help, please contact our SENDCo via the school office on 01752 848900.

 

Our SEND Policy outlines the policies and procedures we work by.

 

Our School Offer is an overview of the provision and support available for children with special educational needs, including those with an Education, Health and Care Plan.

 

Our SEND Report gives information about special educational needs in our school in the previous academic year.
