• All children will have their own targets to work towards.
• Identified children are provided with interventions which match their individual needs.
• We work in partnership with the child, parents/carers and other agencies to ensure children receive the support which matches their individual needs.

SEND Register

• If a child is placed on the SEND register parents/ carers will be informed.
• We will meet once a term to create and reviews outcomes for your child. This will be a person-centred ASI/AIS meeting (additional support and intervention)
• Parents and carers will be asked to fill out a view sheet to bring to the meeting. The child will create a one-page profile with their teacher which will be brought to the meeting.
• Please feel free to contact the class teacher in-between meetings, via the partnership book. These will be dealt with and passed on to the Inclusion Lead if needed.
• The ASI/AIS meetings are run by the class teacher.
