SEND

The ‘Special educational needs and disability code of practice: 0 to 25 years’ (2014) states that “A child or young person has SEN if they have a learning difficulty or disability which calls for special educational provision to be made for him or her.”

At Littleover Community School (LCS) we believe that all students should be valued equally and must be given every opportunity to achieve their potential, both academically and socially. Through the school’s SEND Policy we actively seek to identify and remove barriers to learning and achieve inclusion within the school community. We consider ourselves to be a caring learning environment where students with SEND are inspired to develop high aspirations and independence to help them address and cope with future challenges.

SEND Provision

Provisions are tailored to the individual student using the Assess-Plan-Do-Review model.

Learning Support provisions include the following:

  • Access to a balanced and broadly based curriculum, as specified by the ‘National curriculum in England: framework for key stages 1 to 4’ (2014), with the support of class teachers and subject teachers providing relevant differentiation

  • Each student with SEND has a designated Key Worker who will update with the student their Pupil Centred Plan (PCP) and identify with them targets that they will review together each term - where possible the Key Worker will remain with the student throughout the student’s time at LCS

  • Alternative interventions and learning resources for specific student’s needs

  • One-to-one sessions that are specific to an individual student’s needs with a focus on English, Maths and social skills

  • Homework Clubs at lunchtime supported by Teaching Assistants
