Consulting with our SEN Pupils, Parents & Carers

A Melrose Learning Trust School

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.

Pupil voice is extremely important to us. Pupil Voice group meets regularly and there is no discrimination in which children take part – they elect to, or are elected to participate by peers.

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 parental consultation 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.
  • Questionnaires each year
  • Through regular reviews of their child’s SEN Support Plan/EHC Plan.
