Our Vision - What We Think Is Important

We welcome difference and diversity – learning from and about diversity

strengthens our community

We value, respect and celebrate the achievements of all children

We will always involve parents and children in planning and reviewing progress; we

know that parents are the first educators of their child - we need their knowledge

to plan effectively

We know that the earlier we identify special educational needs and provide

support, the more successful our children will be

We will provide support and resources for children with SEND to fulfil their

potential

Our starting point is to guarantee a whole school approach to making provision for

children with SEND

We make sure that all staff have the knowledge and skills to support all children

with SEND in our school

Our SENDCO attends the Local Authority SENDCO forum and training which keeps

all schools up to date with national developments and local projects on inclusion.

Communicating the SEND Information Report

We have placed the information here on our website –

www.hazelwoodschools.org.uk : we have tried to make sure everything is clear

and helpful.

Our SEND Information Report follows the national guidance on Special Educational

Needs and Disabilities (SEND) which is set out in the SEND Code of Practice (2014)

and is also our policy.

If you want to talk to a member of staff we will arrange for a member of staff to

meet you and answer your questions: let us know if you need an interpreter– we

will do our best to provide this support.

The initial point of contact should always be your child’s class teacher. The class

teacher will always seek advice where necessary from our SENDCO (Special Educational

Needs & Disabilities Coordinator).

The Class Teacher is responsible for:

• Checking on the progress of your child and identifying, planning and delivering any

additional help your child may need (this could be things like targeted work or

additional support) and letting the SENDCO know as necessary.

• Writing Learning Support Plans (LSP), with support from the SENDCO and sharing and

reviewing these with parents once each term and planning for the next term.

• Ensuring that all staff working with your child in school are helped to deliver the

planned work/programme for your child, so they can achieve the best possible

progress. This may involve the use of additional adults, outside specialist help and

specially planned work and resources. This is overseen by the SENDCO.

• Ensuring that the school’s SEND Policy is followed in their classroom and for all the

pupils they teach with any SEND.

The SENDCO is responsible for:

Coordinating all the support for children with SEND and developing the school’s SEND

Policy to make sure all children get a consistent, high quality response to meeting their

needs in school.

Ensuring that you as a parent/carer are:

- involved in supporting your child’s learning

- kept informed about the support your child is getting

- involved in reviewing how they are doing through termly LSP (Learning Support Plan)

review meetings between you and the staff working with your child

Liaising with all the other people who may be coming into school to help support your

child’s learning e.g. Speech and Language Therapist, Educational Psychologist etc.

Updating the school’s SEND register (a system for ensuring all the SEND needs of pupils

in this school are known) and making sure that there are excellent records of your

child’s progress and needs.

Providing specialist support for teachers and support staff in the school so they can help

children with SEND in the school achieve the best progress possible.

The Headteacher is responsible for:

• The day to day management of all aspects of the school, this includes the support for

children with SEND.

• Giving responsibility to the SENDCO and class teachers but is still responsible for

ensuring that your child’s needs are met.

• Making sure that the Governing Body is kept up to date about any issues in the school

relating to SEND.

difficulties with learning/Special Educational Needs?

The SEND Governor is responsible for:

Ensuring that for any child who has SEND the necessary support is provided. This is done

through half termly meetings with the SENCO and SEND and Inclusion Working party; and

though termly reports from the Headteacher.

Teaching:

First and foremost, your child should receive consistently good teaching in the

classroom on a daily basis – this is also known as ‘Quality First Teaching’. For

your child this would mean:

• That the teacher has the highest possible expectations for your child and all pupils

in their class.

• That all teaching is based on building on what your child already knows, can do

and can understand.

• Different ways of teaching are in place so that your child is fully involved in

learning in class. This may involve things like using more practical learning,

grouping children with mixed abilities or similar abilities, working in pairs or

independent work.

• Specific strategies (which may be suggested by the SENCO or outside staff) are in

place to support your child to learn.

• Your child’s teacher will have carefully checked on your child’s progress and will

have identified if your child has a gap in their understanding/learning and needs

some extra support to help them make the best possible progress.

All children in school should be getting this as a part of standard classroom

practice.

Intervention Group:

Some children will benefit from working in smaller groups of children on specific work

to help them make progress.

These groups, often called ‘Intervention groups’ may be:

• Run in the classroom or outside the classroom.

• Run by a teacher or most often a teaching assistant (TA) who has had training to

run these groups.

We have many intervention groups to support a range of needs- visit our website:

http://www.hazelwoodschools.org.uk/interventions/

External:

Some children may need to be referred to an external professional so that we can

access support and advice from them. This is most often the case when quality first

teaching and intervention groups have not helped your child to make enough

progress. Parents need to give their consent so that a referral to a professional can be

made. Such professionals might include Speech and Language Therapist (SALT),

Occupational Therapist (OT) or Educational Psychologist (EP). Waiting lists for these

professionals can be long and so it is advisable to refer your child as soon as we feel it

necessary. If it is a health or medical matter, parents may also go to their GP for

these referrals as sometimes this can be quicker than referring through school.

When the referral has been made, the professional will make an appointment to

assess your child. The specialist professional will work with your child to understand

their needs and make recommendations, which may include:

available for children with SEND?

at Hazelwood?

Making changes to the way your child is supported in class e.g. some individual

support or changing some aspects of teaching to support them better.

Support to set appropriate targets which will include their specific expertise.

A group run by school staff under the guidance of the outside professional e.g. a

social skills group.

A group or individual work with outside professionals.

Education Health & Care Plan (EHCP) /Statement:

Some children may need more specific individual support beyond that already

provided by the school as part of its core offer. This can be provided by requesting a

statutory assessment from the local authority in which you live.

http://www.hazelwoodschools.org.uk/local-offer/

The support is usually provided via an EHCP (Before September 2014, it was known

as a Statement of Special Educational Needs). This means your child will have been

identified by the class teacher/SENDCO as needing a particularly high level of

individual or small group teaching. It means that the school needs additional financial

support from the Local Authority (LA) to enable your child’s outcomes to be met. Over

the next 3 years the LA plans to convert all existing statements into EHCP.

For your child this would mean:

The school (or you) can request that the Local Authority (LA) carry out a statutory

assessment of your child’s needs- this is now called an EHC needs assessment.

This is a legal process which sets out the amount of support that will be provided

for your child to enable them to reach their desired outcomes.

After the school (or you) have sent in the request to the LA (with a lot of

information about your child, including some from you), the LA will decide whether

they think your child’s outcomes are not being met (as described in the paperwork

provided) and therefore requires an EHC needs assessment. Please remember that

not all EHC needs assessments lead to an EHC Plan.

The LA must decide whether or not to proceed with an EHC needs assessment, and

must inform parents of their decision within a maximum of six weeks from

receiving a request for an EHC needs assessment.

Where it decides not to proceed, the LA must give its reasons for this decision and

give feedback collected during the process of consideration including evidence from

professionals which the parent or school may find useful.

If the LA decides to carry out an EHC needs assessment they will ask you and all

professionals involved with your child to write a report outlining what would be

required to enable your child to meet their desired outcomes.

After the reports have all been sent in, the LA will decide if your child’s needs are

severe, complex and lifelong and that they need additional financial support in

school to enable them to make good progress. If this is the case the LA will write

an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP).

If a LA decides, following an EHC needs assessment, not to issue an EHC Plan, it

must inform parents within 16 weeks from the request and will ask the school to

continue with the support already provided and to consider the information given

in the ‘Advisory Plan’.

8

If your child is given an EHC Plan parents have the right to request a personal

budget to support meeting the outcomes written in their child’s plan. Enfield’s

Local Offer details the services you are able to access with a personal budget. The

EHC Plan will outline the amount of the personal budget, whether it is being

funding by Education, Health, Social Care or the school, and how it will be used to

support your child’s outcomes.

This type of support is available for children whose learning needs are:

- Severe, complex and lifelong.

- Need more support in school than the school’s budget can provide.

If you have concerns about your child’s progress you should speak to your child’s

class teacher initially.

If you are not happy that the concerns are being managed and that your child is still

not making progress you should speak to the SENDCO. If you are still unhappy, you should see the Headteacher.

The school does have a complaints procedure which you can access here http://www.hazelwoodschools.org.uk/policies/

At Hazelwood we hold half-termly pupil progress meetings where each child’s progress

is discussed with the class teacher, Headteacher, and assessment coordinator. If any

child is identified as a concern, the school SENDCO will set up a meeting to discuss

this with you and the class teacher in more detail and to:

Listen to any concerns you may have. Plan any additional support your child may receive.

Discuss with you any referrals to outside professionals to support your child’s learning that may be useful.

• The class teacher is regularly available to discuss your child’s progress or any

concerns you may have and to share information about what is working well at home and school so similar strategies can be used. Appointments can be made via the

school office at a mutually convenient time. Informal meetings can take place at the beginning and end of the school day or if you wish, an appointment can be made through the school office.

• The SENDCO is available to meet with you to discuss your child’s progress or any concerns/worries you may have, again appointments can be made through the school

office. • All information from outside professionals will be discussed with you with the person

involved directly, or where this is not possible, in a report.

• Learning Support Plans (LSPs) will be reviewed with your involvement each term. • Homework will be adjusted as needed to your child’s individual needs.

4. How can I let the school know I am concerned about my child’s

progress in school?

5. How will Hazelwood let me know if they have any concerns

about my child’s learning in school?

The school budget, received from Enfield LA, includes money for supporting children

with SEND.

The Headteacher decides on the budget for Special Educational Needs and

Disabilities in consultation with the school governors, on the basis of needs in the school.

Parents who have a child with a statement are consulted about how funds can be best used to support their child.

The Headteacher and the SENDCO discuss all the information they have about

SEND in the school, including: o the children getting extra support already

o the children needing extra support o the children who have been identified as not making as much progress as

would be expected

And decide what resources/training and support is needed.

All resources/training and support are reviewed regularly and changes made as

needed.

Directly funded by the school:

6 HLTAs (Higher Level Teaching Assistants)who have individual specialisms to

support SEND 1 TA for every class each morning to enable agile teaching to take place providing

support and challenge for all

At least 1 TA across each year group to enable intervention work and groups to take place in the afternoons

2 full-time Welfare Assistants who will administer medicines as required in accordance with school policy and with parents’ consent

Provided and paid for by the LA and also Health, and provided outside of school:

CAMHS (Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service)

The SENDCO’s job is to support the class teacher in planning for children with

SEND. The school has a training plan for all staff to improve the teaching and learning of

children including those with SEND. This includes whole school training on SEND issues such as ASD (Autistic Spectrum Disorder), specific learning difficulties and speech and language difficulties.

Individual teachers and support staff attend training courses run by outside agencies that are relevant to the needs of specific children in their class e.g.

communication in print provided by the EYSI (Early Years Social Inclusion) team. If a child has dyslexic tendencies, they will be assessed and the results of this will

be shared with you. If parents find out about a useful resource they are advised to discuss this with the

SENDCO.

Outside experts such as EP (Educational Psychologist), OT (Occupational Therapist), SALT (Speech And Language Therapist) provide teachers and learning

support assistants with expert advice to help support children who have been assessed in school.

All class teachers plan lessons according to the specific needs of the children in

their class, and will ensure that your child’s needs are met. Teaching Assistants with the relevant and appropriate training can deliver the

teachers’ planning to support the needs of your child where necessary. Specific resources and strategies will be used to support your child individually and

in groups.

Personalised Curriculums and timetables are written to support your child which means sometimes they will work with the rest of the class and at other times they

will work on a parallel curriculum individually or with a small group of children working at a similar level.

Planning and teaching will be adapted on a daily basis if needed to meet your

child’s learning needs by any adults involved with your child’s learning.

with SEND and what training do they have?

10. How will the teaching be adapted for my child with SEND?

14

Your child’s progress is continually monitored by his/her class teacher. His/her progress is reviewed formally every half-term at a pupil progress meeting

with the class teacher and a member of SLT (Senior Leadership Team) and a National Curriculum level is given in Reading, Writing, and Maths.

The headteacher, assessment coordinator and SENDCO also monitor and review pupils’ progress half-termly.

If your child is in Year 1 and above, but is not yet at National Curriculum levels, a

more sensitive assessment tool is used which shows their level in more detail and will also show smaller but significant steps of progress. The levels are called ‘P

levels’. See the website for more information about P levels-http://www.education.gov.uk/schools/teachingandlearning/assessment/a00203453/about-the-p-scales

At the end of each key stage (i.e. at the end of Year 2 and Year 6) all children are required to be formally assessed using Standard Assessment Tests (SATS). This is

something the government requires all schools to do and the results are published nationally.

Children with additional needs will have an LSP (Learning Support Plan) which will

be reviewed with your involvement, every term and the plan for the next term made. This is in addition to parents’ consultation evenings in autumn term. In

spring term a longer parent’s consultation evening slot will be given to discuss progress towards the targets on the LSP. Finally in summer term you will meet with the current class teacher and possibly your child’s new teacher to review the

LSP targets and set new ones for the next academic year. For children who do not have an LSP, parents can request a meeting with the class

teacher at any point to review their child’s progress (in addition to the 2 parents’ consultation evenings already offered for all children).

The progress of children with a statement of SEND/ EHC Plan is formally reviewed at an Annual Review with all adults involved with the child’s education.

The SENDCO will also check that your child is making good progress within any

individual work and in any group that they take part in.

The School is accessible to children with physical disability via ramps to all of our

buildings. The Library and Computer suite is accessible via a stair lift.

Disabled toilet facilities are available. We ensure that equipment used is accessible to all children regardless of their

needs.

After school provision is accessible to all children including those with SEND. Tables and chairs at appropriate heights.

Stair handrails are painted a contrasting colour to the walls and the edges of steps are painted bright yellow so that the School is accessible to children who are visually impaired.

11. How will Hazelwood measure the progress of my child in

school?

12. How is Hazelwood accessible to children with SEND?

15

Blinds at windows. Visual Timetables. Extra-curricular activities are accessible for children with SEND.

An accessibility plan has been developed and is reviewed by the Governors in the SEND and Inclusion Working Party.

The School will adapt provision by making reasonable adjustments as and when needed to meet the needs of individuals.

Q. How will my child get involved in extra-curricular activities?

A. The curriculum includes a wide variety of clubs and activities that take place after

school. If a child needs help to get involved we provide that help.

We recognise that transitions can be difficult for a child with SEND and take steps to

ensure that any transition is as smooth as possible.

If your child is moving to another school:

o We will contact the school SENCO and ensure he/she knows about any special arrangements or support that need to be made for your child.

o We will make sure that all records about your child are passed on as soon as possible.

When moving classes in school:

o In the summer term, the class teacher will arrange a LSP (Learning Support Plan) review meeting with you and where possible the new class teacher, to share, discuss and review your child’s targets.

o Also in the summer term the current staff and all the new staff for September will take part in a transition meeting where information about

your child and their needs will be discussed and passed on. o If your child would be helped by a transition book to support them

understand moving on then it will be made for them. The book might include

photographs of the new staff and typical daily routines.

In Year 6: o Where possible your child will visit their new school on several occasions

and in some cases staff from the new school will visit your child in this

school.

o Your child’s class teacher will meet any visiting transition staff from your child’s new secondary school.

o If required/requested the SENDCO will attend secondary transition meetings

to discuss the specific needs of your child with the SENDCO of their secondary school.

o Your child will do focused learning in Year 6 about aspects of transition into Secondary School to support their understanding of the changes ahead.

o Your child may also be identified to attend a Secondary School Transition

Intervention Group in the summer term if needed.

13. How will my child be supported when they are leaving

Hazelwood or moving on to another class?

16

We constantly monitor important evidence for success – we take action

where we are not successful.

These are the things we look at to make sure we are meeting the needs of

children with SEND:

A. Their academic standards and good progress

B. Their behaviour and wellbeing

C. Improved or good attendance and punctuality

D. Their involvement in activities, visits and clubs

E. Taking responsibility - involved in the full life of the school

F. Parent feedback - confidence and trust

G. Parental complaints – fewer and resolved

We also want to understand the experience of children with SEND (pupils’

views) so we are looking at the best ways to do this and we ask about:

H. Children’s sense of inclusion

I. Positive attitudes to self, peers and school: positive friendships

J. Their personal resilience and confidence as learners

14. How will we know if we are successful?
