All the support listed within this document is in addition to the wide variety of pastoral and academic support available to all pupils. What do we mean by Special Educational Needs? According to the Special Educational Needs and Disability Code of Practice: 0 to 25 years (published by the Department for Education, June 2014), children have special educational needs if they have a learning difficulty which calls for special educational provision to be made for them. Children have a learning difficulty if they: a) have a significantly greater difficulty in learning than the majority of children of the same age; or (b) have a disability which prevents or hinders them from making use of facilities of a kind generally provided for others of the same age in mainstream schools. For children aged two or more, special educational provision means educational or training provision which is additional to, or different from that made generally for other children or young people of their age. At the heart of all we do is the desire to improve the support we give SEND students throughout the school and to provide them with a graduated level of support that reinforces the need for fully inclusive teaching. This ranges from : *Tier 1 support where quality first teaching is the main support together with a differentiated curriculum. Teachers receive the support from the SENDCo as required eg a Dyslexia programme intervention run by a learning mentor *Tier 2 additional support could include involvement of external agencies eg strategies suggested by an Educational Psychologist *Tier 3 support is the highest level of support and specific strategies will be defined in an Education Health and Care Plan. 1-1 individual support is rare in Pilgrim as groups are small but if it is part of legal provision in the EHCP the SENDCo will allocate appropriate support with a Learning Mentor The Pilgrim School SEND Team All staff are responsible for pupils with special needs.
