• The teacher plans lessons taking into account the needs of all groups of children in their class, starting with what they already know, can do and can understand.

How are pupils with special educational needs identified?                                        

The principle of early identification and intervention underpins our approach to identifying those pupils who need extra help and those who might have special education needs. Extra help may be put in place, even if special educational need has not been identified. This additional support will enable the pupil to catch up.

• The majority of pupils will have their needs met through appropriate classroom arrangements and suitable differentiation.
• Despite high quality targeted teaching, some pupils may continue to make insufficient progress. For these pupils, in consultation with parents, strengths and weaknesses are identified and used to identify an appropriate intervention programme. Additional assessments might be carried out internally by the SEND team. These might include the Phonological Assessment Battery, YARC Assessment of Reading for Comprehension and others.
• At times, it may be necessary to consult with outside agencies to receive more specialised expertise. External professionals, including Educational Psychologist, Speech and Language Therapist and Occupational Therapist, might carry out further assessments with a pupil. The purpose of these more detailed assessments and reviews is to understand what additional resources and different approaches are required to enable the pupil to make better progress. At this point, because the pupil requires additional and extra provision, we will have identified that the pupil has a Special Educational Need and he or she will be added to the school’s SEN Register.
• If the pupil makes good progress using this additional and different intervention (but would not be able to maintain this good progress without it), we will continue to identify the pupil as having a Special Educational Need.
• We will ensure that all teachers and support staff who work with the pupil are aware of the support to be provided and the teaching approaches to be used.
• The impact of any additional provision made for a child will be measured and reviewed during the comprehensive termly pupil progress meetings with the Head Teacher, Deputy Head Teacher, Inclusion Manager and classroom staff.
• Parents/carers are able to initiate the identification procedure by requesting an appointment with their child's class teacher. During the meeting, any information provided and concerns raised by parents should be logged on a "Cause for Concern" form.

 

What is the school’s ethos/approach to teaching pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disability?

• We are an inclusive school and have high expectations for all our pupils, including those with additional needs. All teaching and learning areas in the school are accessible to pupils with physical disabilities. The second floor of the building can be accessed by a lift. The school has a disabled toilet.
• Pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) are included in every aspect of school life, including trips and clubs, and, where necessary, reasonable adjustments are made to make this possible. Children with SEND regularly attend our wide range of school clubs.

• We ensure that equipment and resources used are accessible to all children regardless of their needs.
• Breakfast Club and After School Club are accessible to all children including those with Special Educational Needs and Disability and, where necessary, reasonable adjustments are made to ensure that pupils can access this provision.
• All extra-curricular activities are accessible for children with Special Educational Needs and Disability and, where appropriate, additional risk assessments are carried out to ensure safe access.
• Please refer to the Accessibility Plan by using the link below: http://www.buckingham.richmond.sch.uk/school-policies/  

• The school monitors the impact and effectiveness of what it does on the outcomes for pupils with SEND very carefully, for example:

• The Headteacher and the Deputy Headteacher scrutinise the data on attainment levels during termly pupil progress meetings.
• The class teachers and SEND team meet every term to review the targets for children in their class and to agree the necessary provision.

• Parents can book appointments with the SEND team via email or by phoning the school’s office. During parent/teacher consultations, the SEND team offers additional appointments for parents of children with SEND.
• Children with SEND are supported in a number of different ways. There may be strategies that can be used in class to support them, such as visual timetables or a task checklist. They may receive one to one support or work in a small intervention group. The children are carefully monitored and the support given is based on the child’s level of need.
• A number of different resources and programmes are used for intervention support such as the “Five Minute Box” or “Catch Up Reading”.
• Some of the intervention work is bespoke and designed to meet the needs of specific children. Support staff are highly trained to effectively deliver the additional interventions.
• In terms of pastoral care, the school offers Art Therapy to children and their families who are facing difficult or stressful times. Resilience groups are also run following programmes such as “Friends for Life” and “Zones of Regulation.”
• Class teachers, leaders and support staff work closely to ensure that lessons are differentiated appropriately to meet the needs of all the children.

 

How will the school prepare and support my child when joining Buckingham School or when transferring to a new year or school?

At Buckingham School, we work closely with the educational settings used by the pupils before they transfer to us in order to seek the information that will make the transfer as successful as possible.

 

Initial admission to Buckingham Primary School:

 

• As with all admissions, please refer to the school and borough policies. http://www.richmond.gov.uk/school_admissions   
• We would encourage all parents of children with additional needs to visit the school and discuss the child’s needs with the SEND team in order to inform your choice of school for your child.
• It is important that all information regarding your child’s needs is included in the school application. The SEND team will use this information to support a smooth transition.
• Once your child has been allocated a place, a member of the SEND team (SENCo) will contact you to plan your child’s transition into our school. Where possible, your child’s previous school will be contacted.

 

Moving to next year in school:

• Information will be passed on to the new class teacher in advance. A planning meeting will take place and all records will be shared with the new staff. The shared information includes pupils’ strengths, interests and successes; pupils’ areas for development and additional needs, and advice on necessary interventions and adjustments to support pupils’ learning.
• Children will have an opportunity to meet their new teacher and spend time in their new classroom before the end of the summer term.
• Some children may benefit from additional support to help them understand moving on and this will be made available for them.
• If you have any concerns or questions when your child starts the new academic year, you may wish to discuss these with the class teacher or the SEND team.
• Please note, that the whole school Parent/Teacher Consultation meetings also take place in the first half term.

 

Moving on to Secondary School:

• Your child’s transition will be carefully planned and managed by staff from both schools. You and your child will be involved in this process.
• Where necessary, the SEND team will offer additional support to parents regarding transition and choice of school.
• Few pupils may require additional support during their transition to secondary school. The identified pupils may be included in the additional transition project which runs in partnership with Hampton Juniors, Hampton Hill Juniors, Buckingham and Hampton High.
• Once Secondary School places are allocated, the relevant SENDCos are invited to attend the Annual Review of any Year Six child who has an Education Health and Care Plan.
• At the time of transfer to secondary school, relevant records are passed on to the receiving school. Where appropriate, direct contact is made with the receiving school’s SENDCo and /or the teacher responsible for pastoral care. The shared information includes pupils’ strengths, interests and successes; pupils’ areas for development and additional needs, and recommendations on adjustments necessary to support learning. When necessary, additional visits may be arranged to their next school.

 

Mid-year transfer:

• Should a child transfer to our school mid-year, we strive to make them feel as comfortable as possible. Children are given a ‘buddy’ to help them navigate around the school.
• All SEND information is shared between the relevant schools for any child who transfers mid-year.

 

How is my child’s progress measured?

• If you or staff have any concerns about your child’s progress or age appropriate development, a meeting will be arranged. Additional strategies will be implemented to support your child’s identified need.
• Your child’s progress is continually monitored by the class teacher. The teaching and support staff also monitor closely the progress within any individual or group interventions.
• Each child’s progress is reviewed formally every term and a National Curriculum standard is given in reading, writing, mathematics and science. The school uses the Target Tracker assessment tool to track progress of all pupils.
• At the end of each Key Stage (at the end of Year Two and Year Six), all children are required to be formally assessed using the Standard Assessment Tests (SATS). This is something the government requires all schools to do and the results are published nationally. Children in Year One sit for the Year One Phonics Screening check.

Some pupils with additional needs may need additional adjustments to support them in taking part in the tests. Such arrangements may include access to 25% of additional time, a reader or a scribe where appropriate, and rest breaks.

Some pupils may not be able to access the tests despite the provision of additional arrangements, and can be withdrawn from taking part.

• Additionally, members of senior staff monitor progress of pupils through lesson observations, learning walks and observations of additional interventions.
• Where outside professionals are involved, regular progress review meetings are arranged. You will be invited to these meetings.
• If a pupil’s rate of progress continues to remain a significant cause for concern despite the additional measures taken, a request to the Local Authority for an Education Health Care Plan may be made.
• The progress of children with an Education Health and Care Plan is formally reviewed at an Annual Review together with parents and all adults involved in the child’s education.

 

What types of support may be suitable and available for my child?

The type of support will depend on the nature of your child’s needs and difficulties.

Our education provision will support the four broad areas of need:

• Communication and Interaction
• Cognition and Learning
• Social, emotional and mental health
• Sensory and/or physical needs

Once concerns about pupil’s progress have been expressed, the SEND team will start gathering information from all involved (i.e. class teacher, parents, support staff, pupil). The information gathered will then help the school to decide on appropriate type and level of support needed.

The school uses a graduated approach to respond to pupils’ needs and learning:

1. High quality classroom teaching with appropriate differentiation to meet the needs

of all learners in the classroom including those with Special Educational Needs or Disability.

2. For some identified pupils, a targeted short-term provision may be appropriate.

This may involve specific one to one or small group interventions.

3. In a small number of cases, advice and support from outside agencies may be

requested. This may trigger an additional or different intervention for a child with identified special needs.

4. If a pupil’s rate of progress continues to remain a significant cause for concern, despite the additional measures taken, a request to the Local Authority for an Education Health Care Plan may be made.

5. The progress of children with an EHC Plan is formally reviewed at an Annual

Review together with parents and all adults involved in the child’s education.

 

What type of support will be available to a child with social and emotional needs?

• Buckingham Primary School recognises the significant impact that adversity, social and emotional difficulties, and low self-esteem can have on a child’s learning and emotional well-being. We are committed to providing a caring and nurturing environment where children feel safe and supported in developing positive strategies to cope with challenges, build their resilience, confidence and self-esteem; and to improve their emotional well-being.
• The school offers a variety of nurture and social skills provision which help children with understanding, discussing and managing feelings, and support them in developing resilience, confidence and greater self-esteem.

The provision may include:

• Bright Eyes Programme for Early Years children
• “Fun Friends” programme delivered by trained and experienced Teaching Assistant
• Social skills groups which use programmes such as “Zones of Regulation”.
• One to one counselling/art therapy by the Arts and Well-being Consultant (through the referral process).
• Whole school “Adult Mentors” initiative which enables a child to have a regular one to one access to a trusted adult.
• Regular initiatives run by the school’s Personal, Social and Health Education Co-ordinator.

• Where appropriate, school can also refer children (with parental consent) to external services like the Emotional Health Service.
• Children’s social and emotional needs are discussed and reviewed regularly by the relevant staff. Advice and training on supporting individual pupil’s needs is provided by the SEND team and, where necessary, by other professionals, for example, the Educational Psychologist.
• The school will always show due regard to special educational needs when considering applying sanctions for behaviours which relate to the child’s individual special need. The school will ensure that reasonable steps have been taken to respond to the pupil’s difficulty and that the pupil is not treated less favourably for reasons related to his or her special need.
• If you have any concerns or questions regarding your child’s emotional well-being, you may wish to discuss these with the class teacher or a member of the SEND team. https://www.buckingham.richmond.sch.uk/school-policies/

 

What expertise, training and experience do school staff have to effectively support pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND)?

• The SEND team support class teachers in planning suitable provision for children with Special Educational Needs and Disability.
• The school has a training plan for all staff to improve the teaching and learning of children, including with SEND. The SEND team are responsible for monitoring the training requirements with regards to Special Educational Needs, and ensuring that the necessary staff training takes place.
• Staff development also takes place during:

• regular meetings between the SEND team, teachers and support staff with regards to individual pupils
• weekly training meetings with all Teaching Assistants
• induction meetings for new staff members
• individual teachers and support staff attend training courses run by Achieving for Children or outside agencies that are relevant to the needs of specific children in their class, for example, the Speech and Language Service or the Educational Psychology Service.

Below are some examples of the staff training which took place most recently at Buckingham School:

• Training on language development and language difficulties
• Training on Autism Spectrum Disorder
• Training on Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
• Training on Specific Learning Difficulties
• Attachment Theory training

 

Within the SEND team:

How will I know how my child with SEN is doing in school or if they may have SEN?

• The school uses the Target Tracker assessment tool to closely monitor and track progress of all pupils including the ones with Special Educational Needs and Disability.
• Every term the SEND team meet with class teachers and support staff to review children’s targets and set new ones following the graduated approach with an “assess, plan, do, review” cycle.
• Teachers and parents meet on a regular basis and the SEND team are available to meet with parents whenever needed to discuss any concerns or pupils’ progress.
• If a teacher is concerned about a pupil’s progress, he or she will discuss this with the SEND team and parents, and steps will be put in place to support the child’s learning. Depending on the level of need, these may be additional in class strategies or interventions outside of the classroom.
• The leadership team and the SEND team carry out regular book scrutiny, learning walks and lesson observations.

How will I be involved in discussions about, planning for, and involvement in, my child’s education?

 

• We place the utmost importance on positive working collaboration between school and home, and keeping parents informed on their child’s progress.
• We include parents in every part of the ‘assess, plan, do, review’ cycle by inviting them in to meet with teachers on a regular basis. Parents meet with the class teacher at least twice to three times a year but more frequently with parents of children with SEND.
• Some children with SEND have a home-school communication book which is used to pass on key information.
• The teachers and the SEND team are happy to arrange a meeting with parents to discuss their child’s progress at a mutually convenient time. Staff across the school see parents at dismissal and short key messages may be conveyed as their child arrives at school to a designated staff member. As these are busy times, they are not suitable for longer discussions. If a meeting is necessary, staff will agree a more convenient time to meet.
• The SEND team is available, with prior notice, to meet at a range of different times to suit parents.

 

 

How does the school involve children/young people with SEND in their education and in the decision-making process?

• At Buckingham, pupils’ opinions and thoughts are at the heart of their learning process.
• Every term, class teachers, support staff and the SEND team meet to discuss individual children and to review their progress. Whilst it might not be appropriate for some children to attend the whole meeting, their targets and progress are discussed with them and their views are shared at the meeting.
• All Annual Reviews are person centred. Children are invited and supported to make age appropriate presentations and contributions.

How is additional support allocated to meet pupils’ Special Educational Needs?

• The school budget, received from Richmond LA, includes money for supporting children with Special Educational Needs and Disability.
• The Head Teacher decides on the budget for Special Educational Needs and Disability in consultation with the school governors, on the basis of needs in the school.
• The Head Teacher and the SEND team discuss all the information they have about Special Educational Needs and Disability in the school, and decide what resources, training and support are needed.
• All resources, training and support are reviewed regularly and changes made as needed.
• Additional funding and resources may be available for children with more complex needs.

 

How is Buckingham School accessible to children with SEND?

• We hope that your child is happy at our school. Occasionally, however, a problem may arise. We hope that we will be able to resolve any concerns speedily, in a helpful, informal manner. We accept that, on occasions, the person raising the concern may wish to take the matter further. To ensure that all problems and difficulties are resolved successfully, a staged procedure for dealing with complaints has been agreed and is summed up below:
• In the first instance, please talk to your child’s teacher about your concerns.
• The class teacher may discuss your concerns with the school’s SEND team.
