Consulting with our SEN Pupils, Parents & Carers

Consultation with Children and Young People with SEND

Teachers/SENCO and Support Staff will work with children and young people to identify the support needed to meet agreed outcomes.  The provision is planned and interventions are allocated to individual needs. The children take an active role with setting their outcomes and discussing them with the class teacher/SENCO.  The children have regular meetings with staff to discuss their progress and support.

At Ebchester CE Primary School, we hold termly meetings with parents and carers of children on our SEND Register to discuss their progress and individual targets. Our children are invited to contribute to the setting of their targets, where possible. These are reviewed and new targets set every term. The children are encouraged to discuss their learning and progress with staff and support staff.

Consultation with parents and carers of children and young people with SEND

We are committed to working with parents and carers to identify their child’s needs and support.  Parents and carers will be involved throughout the process.

There is a range of ways this can be done, for example:

  • Termly parents/ carers evenings;
  • Ongoing discussions with a class teacher and/or SENCO;
  • An ‘open-door’ policy, where parents and carers are welcome to come into school to discuss any concerns they may have;
  • Through regular reviews of their child’s SEN Support Plan/ EHC Plan.

Ensuring that all children attending Ebchester CE Primary School receive provision that maximises their enjoyment and achievement is central to all we offer. Consultation with families is key to securing success in this area.

The SEND children attending our school are aged 4-11 years so consulting with them to seek their views about how we are meeting their needs has to be age appropriate, especially when many often have communication difficulties.

We use the following strategies:

  • Have regular meetings and discussions with parents about what we have planned for their child and how to link this with interests and passions demonstrated at home
  • Make close observations during school to identify the types of activities and experiences that most engage each child so these can be developed further and be used inform future planning
  • Involve SEND children with planning their own activities and encouraging them to share what they would like to learn and participate with
  • Extend any resources that they show a preference for
  • Most importantly, ensure the children with SEND are happy, motivated and make expected levels of progress throughout their time in school.

If you would like to discuss your SEND requirements in detail please contact the school to arrange an appointment.
