SEND

 

At Khalsa Primary School, we believe in supporting all children including those with Special Educational Needs (SEN) so that they can achieve their full potential and be successfully included in the mainstream education. Staff at Khalsa Primary school strive to provide inclusive first quality teaching which will enable all students to flourish.

The range of support is available to cater for a range of needs. The support is designed to promote pupils’ progress, independence and well-being. At Khalsa Primary some children access additional support through small intervention groups additional to quality first teaching in class. Some pupils may have an IEP (Individual Education Plan) and / or be put on the SEN register (Special Educational Needs) or receive EHCP which is issued by the Slough Borough Council.

The SEN Code of Practice 0-25 Years states that there are four broad categories of SEND which are:

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

Teachers, Phase Leaders and all adults working with children may raise their concerns using a Child’s Learning Profile. SENCo works closely in conjunction with other stakeholders like parents and specialist professionals to ensure inclusive education for all.

Some children may require an increased support to access their learning due to:

  • Difficulty in learning than the majority of children of the same age
  • Difficulty in accessing learning due to emotional or physical trauma
  • Disability as defined under the Equality Act which affects their ability to benefit from the educational opportunities

Educational Provision for students currently having an Individual Education Plan (IEP) and/or being on the SEN register and/or EHCN plan may receive the following provision:
