Special Educational Needs
We provide a broad and balanced curriculum for all pupils, including those with Special Educational Needs, and ensure full curriculum entitlement and access.
A child is said to have a Special Educational Need if he/she has
‘a significantly greater difficulty in learning than the majority of children of his/her age’ or ‘has a disability which either prevents or hinders him/her from making use of the educational facilities of a kind generally provided in schools’ or ‘is undefined and could fall into either of these categories if special provision was not made’. (1981 Education Act)
At Roade Primary School children with Special educational Needs are identified as soon as possible. A graduated process, for identification, assessment and provision, in accordance with the Code of Practice, is established.
If a teacher is concerned about the progress a child is making then this would be
discussed with the parent before agreeing whether it is appropriate for the child
to be placed on the Special Needs Register and receive additional support. Advice
may also be sought from the Special Needs Co-
The school has access to outside agencies who can advise the school on ways to support children with Special Educational Needs. Referrals can be made to these agencies who may come into school to observe and /or work with the child and may meet with parents to discuss the issues raised.
