How we identify SEND at Friarage CP School.

At Friarage, we work alongside children and families in order to identify special educational needs and/or disabilities at the earliest opportunity. When identifying SEND, we consider the legal definition of SEND from the SEND Code of Practice 2014, which states that a child has a learning difficulty or disability if they:

  • Have a significantly greater difficulty in learning than the majority of others the same age; or
  • Have a disability which prevents or hinders him or her from making use of facilities of a kind generally provided for others of the same age in mainstream schools.

Staff use our ‘How do we identify SEND?’ flow chart to identify SEND in school.

What our SEND provision looks like at Friarage CP School.

 At Friarage, we provide high-quality education to all children. The support your child receives will be suited to their individual needs to ensure they make progress in line with their peers. This may be through classroom adaptations or interventions. Your child will have an Individual Provision Map (IPM) which will outline their targets and provision. They are reviewed, alongside parents and the child, at least termly.

Our school uses adaptive teaching to support all pupils in school. Our ‘Whole School Provision Map’ provides an ‘at a glance’ snapshot of the provision routinely offered across the school.

The Local Offer for SEND.

As a part of the Children and Families Act 2014 all local authorities have to publish a ‘local offer’ for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities and their families.

North Yorkshire’s offer can be found here:

https://www.northyorks.gov.uk/send-local-offer

The Route for EHCPs/How do EHCPs work.

If your child requires support above what it routinely offered, as part of our SEND offer, we may seek to apply for an EHC needs assessment from the Local Authority. Parents can also apply for an EHC needs assessment individually. The Local Authority will decide if SEND support in school meets your child’s needs, or if they need an EHC plan.

It is important that we work together in order to provide evidence to the local authority that your child is not making expected progress with SEND support in school. You will receive a response within 6 weeks and you have the option to appeal any decision made.

If the EHCP request is accepted, advice will be gathered from parents, school, the child and any other professionals working with them. A draft plan will be issued and you will have the option to agree the plan or request amendments.

The school supports several children with EHCP plans in school. The school will deliver the provision detailed in the plan and monitor their progress against their outcomes.

Independent Advice.

If you require any additional advice, information or support, which is independent from the school, SENDIASS (SEND Information, Advice and Support Service) can provide free and impartial support.
