Accessability Plan

The School Nurse offers lots of help and advice about a wide range of topics. The local School Nurses are based at Charnwood Mill, in Barrow on Soar. There is information about the nursing service here. There are regular drop in sessions held in school, should you wish to speak to one of the nurses. If you have any questions, or wish to contact the nurse, please speak to the school office.

IEP 
If your child requires and Individual Education Plan to support their learning and needs, the class teacher may discuss this with you and will be supported and advised by the senco if an IEP is appropriate. The class teacher is responsible for creating the IEP including smart targets and strategies. This should then be reviewed  every term with parental input and pupil voice where appropriate.  You may be contacted to come and review this in school, if you wish for the senco to be a part of that meeting please contact through email. If you are asked for your comments on the review and we do not get a response this section will remain blank.

Pupil passports
A pupil passport is a one page document identifying the pupils needs, likes and dislikes along with provision and strategies to support them. This document will be updated accordingly and you should receive a copy. They are in each class's SEND folder giving all staff knowledge of pupils with SEND. 

Graduated response.
Please find below a flowchart showing the graduated response we follow to addressing and supported a child with send.

I hope to support all pupils, parents and staff to ensure the best provision is provided so pupils can achieve their full potential and feel happy and safe in school.
