How is extra support allocated and what is the range of provision offered at Westfield Junior School?
The Cambridgeshire County Council school budget includes money for supporting pupils with SEND.
The Headteacher decides on the deployment of resources in consultation with the Governors and SENCo, on the basis of needs across the school.
The Class Teacher provides High Quality First Teaching which is based on having high expectations of all pupils, building on previous differentiated learning, using multi sensory approaches to accommodate all learning styles and having specific strategies in place to support the learning. All teachers follow a clear school behaviour policy and training in SEND is ongoing and as required.
Communications with Parents/Carers include informal discussion after school when required, formal agreed review meetings and consultation times, home/school communication books if appropriate and the end of year reports.
Pupils with identified needs will have a 1-1 consultation with their Class Teacher to discuss their needs, targets and the provision. Planning and teaching will be adapted to meet the child’s learning needs.
Specific resources and strategies will be used to support the child individually and/or in groups as appropriate. This may include support given by a Teaching Assistant in the lesson or within an intervention programme.
