SEND and Inclusion

All children have the right to achieve their maximum academic and social potential.  We believe that all children have different learning needs rather than learning difficulties.  Our objective is to identify and assess these needs and then ensure that learning is supported and differentiated to ensure children make excellent progress in learning.

We recognise that pupils learn at different rates and that there are many factors affecting achievement, including ability, emotional state, age and maturity. We believe that many pupils, at some time in their time at school, may experience difficulties which affect their learning, and we recognise that these may be long or short term.
 
If you have any additional questions or comments around Additional Educational Needs (AEN) or Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND) then please feel to contact our SENDCo, Ms Segolene Mathurin via the School Office.

Language and/or Social Communication Needs

If your child is aged 5 and over with language and/or social communication needs, they can be seen by the Speech and Language Therapist commissioned from Evelina London (NHS). The therapist can support with skills such as attention and listening, play, vocabulary, memory, understanding words, following directions and instructions, the content and grammar of spoken language, emotional regulation, and understanding social situations amongst others.

If you are concerned about the clarity of your child’s speech (how easy it is to understand them) or a stammer, you can self-refer to the Evelina London Community Services using the form found on their website here: Community speech and language therapy referrals | Evelina London. Alternatively, you can ask the SENCo for a copy.  Further information and accessible parent training courses can be found on their website here: www.evelinalondon.nhs.uk/communityspeechandlanguage
