SEND & Inclusion

Key Information

 

At Frogmore Junior School, we have an unequivocal ambition to provide the very best opportunities for all our pupils. We are a research and evidence-based school, and everything in our curriculum is deliberately chosen to ensure inclusive practise is at the heart of our offer. Because of our context, we are a Right’s Respecting school to ensure Frogmore is a safe and inspiring place to learn - this ethos makes a positive impact on the whole community. At Frogmore, children are healthy, happy and feel safe. They demonstrate strong positive relationships and are active, responsible participants in both school life and the wider world.

Every child has an equal opportunity to participate in all aspects of school life. We value the abilities and achievements of all pupils and are committed to providing, for each pupil, the best possible environment for learning. We want to empower children to become successful later in life and to give them the necessary skills, knowledge and mindset to achieve highly.

Through our behaviours, our language, and our curriculum, we model to pupils just how important their rights are and how they should be respected. We want our children to want to make a positive difference to their school, their community, and the world.

Mrs King is the SENCO at Frogmore Junior School and is responsible for overseeing the SEND provision. Should you require further information or have questions relating to any aspects of SEND provision she can be contacted via the SEND email address which is: send@frogmorejuniors.org

 

We aim to:

• Ensure all children have an equal opportunity to participate ion all aspects of school life
• Provide access to an ambitious curriculum
• Ensure early identification of a child’s special needs
• Provide appropriate targeted and specialist support for children
• Keep parents informed of their child’s progress and achievement and as part of the target setting process

 

Children with special educational needs are identified and taught appropriately following the requirements of the Code of Practice for Special Educational Needs.  Pupil Outcome Plans are developed for children on the Inclusion register.  The SENCO, class teacher and parents carefully monitor these plans.  The school works closely with external agencies: Education Psychologists, Primary Behaviour Support, Speech Therapists and Occupational Health Therapists who are available to offer support and advice as required.

At Frogmore Junior School we recognise that the quality of teaching within the classroom has the greatest influence over children’s progress. We therefore invest in training, resources and monitoring to ensure our classrooms are an inclusive place for all children. This is known as our Universal Offer providing Quality First Teaching for all pupils in an inclusive classroom level.

Carefully selected small-group and one-to-one interventions complement high quality teaching, without creating a barrier to the inclusion of pupils with SEND. Interventions are targeted through identification and assessment of need and the intensity of intervention (from universal to targeted to specialist) which increases with need. Targeted interventions are planned to enable children to accelerate their progress and work at, or above the expectations for their age. These are generally taught in a small group and sometimes a 1:1 situation. 

Specialist provision may also be provided individually or in a small group, and the support provided is personalised to enable the child to achieve his/her potential. This support is additional to or different from the everyday curriculum for that class and is detailed the child's pupil profile and through personalised pupils' outcomes, outlining individual provision to achieve these outcomes. This plan is prepared by the class teacher, overseen by the SENCO and reviewed termly. It may also include provision and/or advice from an external agencies or professionals, such as a Speech and Language therapist.
