At Woodvale, children who are identified as having SEND will have a learning plan in place. Those with more complex needs will have an EHCP (education, health and care plan). These documents detail the outcomes the child is working on and what support or interventions are in place.

# data[].attributes.body
At Woodvale, we believe high quality teaching and high expectations are the key to a child's learning. This can be achieved in many ways and our skilled teachers have regular training to share best practice and new research findings.

Most difficulties can be addressed within the classroom by the teacher. Some children may need additional help in the form of learning tools, additional adult support or interventions.

Some children may need a more bespoke curriculum. They may be supported 1:1 or within a small group at certain parts of their day. The class teacher is responsible for their learning even when working in a smaller group.

EHCPs (Education, health and care plans) are a legal document developed with parents and supporting professionals to ensure a pupils gets the support they need. EHCP can support a pupil up until the age of 25.

EHCPs are designed for children with long term, complex needs. The process takes approximately 20 weeks.

Mrs Clements can apply for EHCPs as well as parents and health professionals.

EHCPs are reviewed termly by both teachers and parents. An annual review is held yearly where targets are reviewed and updated. A copy of this is sent to the Local Authority who will make any amendments.

At Woodvale, we work with a variety of outside agencies in order to support both children and their parents/carers. These include;
Speech and Language therapists (both NHS and private)
Educational Psychologist
School Nurse
Physiotherapist
Occupational Health therapist
SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health) Team
SEND (Special educational needs and disabilities) Support Services
SASS (School attendance support service)

# data[].attributes.body
We work with parents/carers to make sure the right support is in place.

If children have an EHC plan, Mrs Clements will meet with parents/carers on a termly basis to discuss the progress the child is making towards the targets set. Information will be gathered from all adults working with the child in order to give a good picture of progress. On a yearly basis, an annual review will be conducted, which parents are invited to. The child also has the option to attend if the parent feels this is appropriate. These are normally face to face meetings.

If a child has a learning plan, but no EHC plan, Mrs Clements will email and/or call parents/carers on a termly basis to discuss the targets set and ask for their views. Mrs Clements will also share the targets with the child.

Parents/carers are always welcome to contact Mrs Clements if they have any concerns or queries. Please contact the school office to make an appointment.
