SEND Provision at St Bede's
Support for pupils with SEND is highly effective. SEND specialists know pupils and their families extremely well.
Statement of Intent
The vision of the faculty is to: ‘build independence in order to achieve each student’s potential and maximise their strengths, whilst providing support to compensate for their weaknesses'.
We intend to:
- Ensure transition visits both to and from St Bede’s are smooth and the least stressful for our students.
- Create positive working partnerships with students, parents/carers and professionals working with students with SEND.
- Ensure all staff have the knowledge and expertise they need to best support students with SEND, including adaptive teaching in addition to pastoral support.
- Support all EHCP outcomes and personal SEND targets to gain maximum educational progress.
- Gather consistent baseline information for all students upon arrival, to identify and inform need and provision.
- Provide bespoke individualised programmes of support responding to need, aiming to raise academic profile, confidence and self-esteem, wellbeing, social skills and familiarisation with arrangements for formal assessment.
- Review outcomes and progress in line with the Code of Practice to inform ongoing support.
- Ensure equal access and opportunities for extra-curricular events, trips and visits.
- Ensure support, including formal access arrangements, for GCSE studies and exams.
