Special Educational Needs

     

    At Ilam CE (VA) Primary School, we strive to support all pupils to enable them to achieve at school.

    In order to do this, many steps are taken to support them through their learning journey.
    Quality first teaching is vital; however, for some children, there are occasions when additional support may be needed to help them achieve their bespoke targets. We have highly skilled teaching staff and teaching assistants who carry out interventions to support pupils who need that extra level of support. Our Special Educational Needs and Disability Co- Co-Ordinator (SENCO) Miss Rouse, works closely alongside staff, parents, pupils and other agencies to find out if there are barriers to learning due to:
    • Communication and interaction
    • Cognition and learning
    • Social, mental and emotional health
    • Sensory and physical needs

    We embrace the fact that every child is unique and consequently their educational needs will be too. At Ilam Primary, we have an ambitious curriculum and set aspirational targets for all our pupils. We celebrate individuality enabling all our pupils to flourish.

     

    The contents of this section of the website should hopefully help you, as a parent, recognise the process of SEND at our school, as well as provide some useful links and information that might support you at home.

    You will also see our ‘School Information Report’ with further details of the provision on offer, along with our SEND Policy, Equality Policy and Accessibility Policy.

    Please read the Staffordshire local SEND offer for more information on what can be accessed locally to support your child.
