At Weelsby Academy, we use the Graduated Approach to provide additional support to children and to monitor this throughout their school life.

At this stage, your child isn't classed as being on the SEN register. This gives staff in the school the chance to try different approaches or to see if there is a wider reason that your child might be struggling.

At this stage, your child will be added to the SEN register following a discussion with yourself, your child's teacher and Miss Smith, the SENCo.  You will be asked to sign a form acknowledging this.

At this stage, if your child is not still working towards age related expectation, other professionals would be asked to assess your child. This would then provide specialist support to school to ensure the gap closes.

Day and Brookes Speech and Language Therapy

We work very closely with our therapist to provide bespoke Speech and Language therapy to children across the academy. It may be that children receive support in a small group, 1:1 or a short bust within their class. This is supported by our teaching assistants to ensure this work is continued between sessions.

The child development centre supports our children in Nursery and Reception. When a referral is completed, they will usually come in to observe your child and then provide some feedback with strategies.

During this cycle, lots of different interventions and adaptions will be made for your child following the advice of professionals.

At this point, we may begin to discuss the possibility of n EHCAR (sendlocaloffer.nelincs.gov.uk/home/what-is-an-education-health-and-care-needs-assessment/)
This will be conducted by the Local Authority and will assess whether your child would benefit from a bespoke plan which includes set targets and provision to support this.

At Weelsby, we believe that every child has the chance to be amazing and that have an additional need should not be a barrier to this.
For most children, they will participate in the same activities and lessons as their peers but may have additional resources or slightly different work to help support their understanding.

Absolutely! We love to receive feedback and always strive to improve our offer based on it.
