How we support children/young people with SEND starting at our school
Entry into nursery for children with SEND is planned in advance through consultation with parents and where appropriate the LA and previous providers. If applicable visits are made by the SENCO/Deputy Headteacher to the previous provider. Sometimes shorter sessions are initially planned to enable the child (and family) to gain confidence in the school.
How we support children/young people with SEN moving between classes in our school
If children are moving from the 2 year building to the main nursery building transition visits are made to enable the child to build relationships with new staff and familiarise themselves with the new environment. Documentation/plans are shared between staff.
How we support children/young people with SEN leaving our school
We arrange extra support and visits for pupils with SEN, in liaison with their chosen primary school. The Headteacher or key person can accompany parents and children during these visits. Staff from feeder schools are invited to spend time in our nursery to ensure that relationships are built within an environment in which the child feels comfortable. Meetings with the primary school staff, families and nursery staff will be arranged to ensure that transition is as smooth as possible and that important information about the child is discussed and understood
If you would like to discuss your SEND requirements in detail please contact the school to arrange an appointment.
