School SEN Details

Edge Hill Academy

Sycamore Road, Stapenhill, Burton Upon Trent, DE15 9NX

Introduction

Please note that these details are as supplied by the school themselves.

How we identify and assess needs

• All children are subject to the whole school assessment policy which involves continuous ongoing assessment using PUMA/PIRA, End of Year Expectations and Fisher Family Trust termly judgements. Their progress is monitored termly and discussed at PPM with the Headteacher. Progress is also discussed within year groups to target intervention/ support. The SLT(Senior Leadership Team) also monitors the progress of children on the SEND register each term with regard to progress, attainment and attendance.
• Some children may require specific assessments carried out by outside agencies/specialists e.g. (we may use our Dyslexia Screener as a starting point for this). SENSS, SALT (Speech and Language Therapy),Educational Psychologist. We will always seek your verbal or written permission before any further assessments are carried out. We may call you or invite you in for a meeting before, during or after the referral to discuss the implications of this outside agency involvement.
• Referrals to outside agencies may come from school, parents, GP or other agencies.
• The recommendations they might make may require us to make changes to the way your child is supported in school, resources to be used and whether they benefit from working individually or in small groups or any additional activities/ exercises they may need to do at home.
• A referral may require a subsequent referral to a different agency.
• Where there are several agencies working together to support your child we may hold a EHAP (Early Help Action Plan - formerly known as a CAF) or a TAC/TAF (Team around child/family) in order to ensure that all agencies are aware of your
Child’s needs so we can all work together to best meet those needs.

We have a range of intervention programmes to support needs on an individual basis or in small groups.

Parents can raise concerns at any time through a range of activities: We are very approachable and offer a genuine 'open door' policy.
*Phone-calls or emails to the class teacher or other staff in school
