Special Needs Support

How does the setting identify children with additional needs or SEND? 

At Springhead Park Primary we like to build strong relationships with parents and carers so we can discuss concerns about the children.  Within the nursery day, staff get to know the children very well and should they notice signs of a Special Educational Need, they will liaise with the school SENCO and with parents and carers to discuss and find a way to best meet the needs of the child.

How will I be informed / consulted about the ways in which my child is being supported? 

The Nursery practitioner will contact parent and carer to arrange meeting which will include Mrs Baker our SENDco.

How will the setting adapt the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum for my child's needs? 

Our nursery practitioners plan a holistic curriculum.  Within the provision practitioners prepare activities and resources which promote social interaction, curiosity and experimentation.  For significant time during the session pupils freely interact with the provision and staff work with children to promote their independence, social skills and understanding of the world.  When interacting with the child this is bespoke to the child's needs.

What teaching strategies does the setting use for children with additional needs or learning difficulties? 

We view every child as an individual and where a child is experiencing a Special Educational Need, we are advised by our SENDco, Specialist Teachers and professionals from outside the school.  Details are discussed at regular intervals throughout the year always focusing on the progress the child has made and what we can do to enable further progress.

What additional support does the setting provide for children with additional needs or SEND? 

We offer intimate care if children are not yet toilet trained and will liaise with parent and carer if any medication is required during the session.

How will the setting monitor my child's progress and how will I be involved in this? 

Progress is reported to parents and carers three times a year and nursery families are also invited to meet their child's nursery teacher twice a year.

How do you ensure children with additional needs or SEND can be included in the same activities as other children, including trips? 

Within the provision practitioners prepare activities and resources which promote social interaction, curiosity and experimentation. We make every effort for pupils with SEND need to access the same provision as their peers, including any trips.

How accessible is the building for children with mobility difficulties / wheelchair users? 

There are three disabled car park spaces and the whole building is wheel chair accessible (this includes a ceiling hoist in the hygiene room and lift to upstairs).

 

How will you support my child's transition to a new setting or school? 

We offer a parent consultation with the nursery teacher and two parent stay and play sessions.

How does the setting assess the overall effectiveness of its SEN provision and how can parents / carers take part in this evaluation? 

As part of The Primary First Trust we canvas parents feedback with a survey twice a year.

Who should I contact if I am considering registering for a place at the setting? 

Please contact Sarah Pattison our Admissions Officer in the school office.  

What arrangements does the setting have for feedback from parents / carers, including compliments and complaints? 

At Springhead Park Primary School we have a complaints policy which is available on our school website or alternatively please contact the school office.
