In addition, SEND children are given the opportunity to participate in visits to settings that meet their specific needs e.g. sensory play.

Wherever possible, staff implement programmes of work linked to these professionals for example speech and language programmes, exercises recommended by physical therapies etc.

What support can I expect for my child?

How is the decision made about what type and how much support my child/young person will receive?

In line with the recommendations as outlined by the Warnock Report (1978) and established clearly in the 1981 Education Act, Esh Winning Primary School recognise that around 20% of children will at some time during their schooling experience some form of learning difficulty (around one in six at any one time).

The school recognise that there are a smaller group of children (about 2%) who may require additional provision over and above that which would generally be available to schools.

Esh Winning Primary School aims to help all children reach their full potential and take responsibility towards the identification and assessment of special educational need very seriously.

How will I be involved in my child's education?

How are parents involved in the setting/school/college? How can I be involved?

The school are fully committed to encouraging parents to be involved with all aspects of school life.  Parents are welcomed into school at the beginning and end of a school day and they are welcome to arrange additional dates to meet with the teacher to discuss progress and provision.  The school invites parents to school performances, community day, family group sessions, sports events, and in certain year groups they have phonics training sessions during the year. The school also encourage parents to help with the school garden.

My child is going to be starting or leaving soon, how will you help them?

How will the setting/school/college prepare and support my child/young person to join the setting/school/college or the next stage of education and life?

Children with SEND are given an extensive level of support before they leave for a new school. Their teacher and SENCO will discuss with secondary colleagues how many transition visits can be arranged over and above those offered to children without SEND. These additional visits to the new school will be carried out with the child and Secondary School Staff in the summer term. This ensures that bridges are built between schools, key information shared between staff and the child is given the opportunity to settle into a new routine with the support of a familiar adult.
