What does inclusion look like at Kettlefields.

# data[].attributes.body
Our vision for SEND:

At Kettlefields, we believe that every child is unique, valued, and capable of success. Our vision for Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) is rooted in inclusion, relationships, and communication. We strive to create a nurturing and aspirational environment where all pupils can thrive- academically, socially, and emotionally.

We celebrate every achievement, recognising that success looks different for each child. Through strong partnerships with families, professionals, and the wider community, we ensure that pupils’ voices are heard and their needs are understood.

Our aim is to remove barriers to learning, promote independence, and empower every pupil to develop confidence, resilience, and a lifelong love of learning. By fostering empathy, understanding, and respect across our school, we build a community where everyone belongs and is supported to reach their full potential.

Every child is unique and every child matters!

# data[].attributes.body
At Kettlefields Primary School, we are committed to providing high quality education to every child regardless of gender, race or disability. We believe that all children, including those identified as having Special Educational Needs or a Disability (SEN/D), have a common entitlement to an accessible, broad and balanced academic and social curriculum, and that they should be fully included in all aspects of school life where and when they are able.

Our SEND Lead is Mrs Laura Arbon, please contact her via the School Office on 01638 508360

We build champions by ensuring that every child:

1. knows how to stay safe, healthy, happy and make sensible choices;

2. has respect for themselves, the environment and their communities;

3. is a resilient, brave and inquisitive learner;

4. achieves our high expectations;

5. aspires to be their 'best self' and to change the world!

We aim to identify children’s learning and social and emotional difficulties at an early stage and we endeavour to work with you to help support each child.

For some children, with more complex needs or identified needs an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) may have already been issued or a child may be undergoing an EHCP Needs Assessment before they start school; we recognise that children can experience difficulties with learning, behaviour or social skills at any time in their school life and we aim to work together to support his/her needs. Once a child is identified as having difficulties in accessing learning or in experiencing barriers due to their social, emotional or mental health needs the school will support them through a variety of strategies. The child may then be recognised as receiving SEN Support and may be placed on our Special Educational Needs register.

Sleep Right podcasts | Disability charity Scope UK

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
We want all disabled children and their families to get a good night's sleep. Our sleep experts offer lots of useful knowledge and tips in this podcast.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Sleep problems affect a child's learning, behaviour, mood and health, and the physical and mental wellbeing of the whole family.

There are some factors beyond your control that can affect your child's sleep. You should get advice from a medical professional if:

your child is in pain

your child's condition can disrupt sleep

your child's medication can affect sleep

Most sleep problems are caused by behaviours that they have learned. Teach your child to self-settle at the onset of sleep so that when they naturally wake during the night, they will be able to fall back to sleep on their own.

You could also try talking to your child to find out if they cannot sleep because they're worried about something. Do this during the day, not at bedtime. Speak to your doctor if you think your child might have anxiety.

Before bedtime

Spend time with your child doing a quiet activity like play dough, massage, jigsaws or colouring as part of their bedtime routine.

Do the bath or shower just before bed, or earlier if your child finds a bath too exciting.

Make sure your child has a supper snack at the start of their bedtime routine if they are still hungry.

In the bedroom

Put away or cover toys, bright colours and noisy items from the bedroom to make it feel calm.

Make sure the bedroom is dark enough. Use Velcro blackout kits or blackout blinds to keep light out.

The best temperature is 16 to 18 degrees Celsius, but try to find out what your child finds comfortable.

Lie on your child's mattress to see if it's comfortable. If possible, ask how it feels to your child.

Settling your child when they wake up

Show your child that you're there to reassure them, but try not to stimulate them.

If they fall asleep with a light on or listening to music, keep these on to avoid potential night wakings due to a change of environment.

Repeat the same phrase, such as "It's time to sleep."

Avoid making eye contact.

Keep the lights off or use a night light.

It's important to wake your child at the same time every day. This includes weekends and school holidays. If you follow this advice for at least 3 weeks, your child's sleeping pattern should get better.

If you have a partner, try to take turns being responsible for your child's sleep. That way at least someone can get a good night's rest.
Keep a sleep diary to monitor your child's sleep patterns and what affects them.
Scope's sleep services

We run sleep services that support families of children with additional needs, aged between 2 and 18, who have severe sleep problems.

These services provide workshops, clinic appointments as well as support by telephone and email.
Scope's Sleep Right service Scope's Sleep Right podcast
If you have any medical concerns, you should contact your Paediatrician or GP.

Talking about how you feel

Speaking to other parents with disabled children can be a good way of getting support and advice.

All kids have times when they struggle to handle expectations. How they express that they're struggling has an outsized impact on how adults respond. Some kids communicate that they're having difficulty meeting certain expectations through whining, pouting, sulking, crying, or withdrawing. They're the "lucky" ones, for these behaviors are likely to be responded to with empathy, nurturance, and support. Others - the "unlucky" ones - communicate that they're having difficulty meeting expectations in ways that are more troubling, like screaming, swearing, hitting, kicking, biting, and spitting. Regrettably, these behaviors are less likely to elicit empathy, nurturance, and support from caregivers.

But whether lucky or unlucky, the concerning behavior is communicating the same thing: there's an expectation the child is having difficulty meeting. And that means that there's a problem that needs to be solved. In the CPS model, the problem solving is collaborative and proactive.

The best place to begin is with the Guided Tour, which will take you through the three key facets of the CPS model. Demonstration videos will help you to understand your child's concerning behaviors, how to identify unsolved problems, and how to start solving problems collaboratively and proactively. When you're ready to get started, click below.

Dyslexia and other reading-based learning disabilities are most common among students. NaturalReader text-to-speech makes learning more accessible by assisting with any reading, taking tests and promoting independence.

Students can have any text they need to read, read aloud to them so they can read along. Having the text provided both visually and auditory, allows the student to focus less on the act of reading, and more on the comprehension of the content. Other features like dyslexia font, flexible reading speeds, and highlighted text also ease the task of finishing readings.

For most students, learning does not stop when school ends. NaturalReader EDU enables students to be more independent and assists with learning at home. Whether they're doing homework, reading at home, or just surfing the web, our Chrome Extension and Mobile Application are always available.

Important COVID-19 updates

In line with NHS England guidance around Covid transmission, we are minimising the occasions where children and young people are seen face to face both in clinic, home and educational settings.

We are using safer ways to continue to provide our service and offer support, such as telephone or video consultations as the first option where we can. If your child needs to be seen face to face by a therapist in clinic, we have put measures in place to make this as safe as possible for you and your child. If being seen face to face, please ensure you follow any guidance given to you carefully to keep the risks as low as possible.

If you have any queries about your child's care, please contact us via telephone: 0300 555 5965 on email: cpm-tr.childrensOTcpft@nhs.net or visit our Occupational Therapy Toolkit for advice and resources to support your child.

Who we are

We provide services to children and young people aged 0-18 and those who are 19 years old who are still in full time education. We work with individuals who have a range of mild to complex disabilities and difficulties, including developmental delay, motor disorders and/or complex physical disability. The aim of the service is to ensure parents and others supporting the child can manage safely and have the necessary skills and knowledge to help the child achieve their potential, promoting participation and independence.

Children's occupational therapy provides supports to empower and enable children to learn new skills or adapt tasks in order to overcome barriers that may be preventing them doing everyday activities (occupations) that matter to them. We are a family-centred profession with a person-centred approach to goal setting to promote a balanced range of occupations to enhance health and wellbeing and help a person reach their full potential.

Occupations for children and young people may include:

Productivity - going to school or helping out at home

Self-care - washing, dressing, toileting, eating and drinking, sleep

Leisure - playing, socialising with friends, hobbies or sports

Individuals may experience disruption to their occupations due to injury, illness or disability. Occupational therapists will spend time finding out about a child's and family's typical daily life and what they want, need or are expected to do. They will need to work together with the young person to identify factors that affect their everyday function and develop goals that they would like to achieve. Together, possible solutions will be developed, such as exploring alternative ways of doing things, making changes to the environment, use of equipment, or developing coping strategies to support participation.
