SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS 

Our SEND Team strives to ensure that the Additional Educational Needs of all our students are met. We support students with a range of Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND), and English as an Additional Language (EAL). We aim to promote the opportunities for and achievements of all in line with our whole school ethos. Liaison with staff, parents and carers and knowledge of our students is essential which is why we meet students and their parents/carers, contact  primary schools and arrange transition visit(s) before they join our school.

Wave 1 is the expectation of ‘Quality First’ teaching, where good quality teaching and adapting work to individual students means that every student is included. The needs of all students are taken into account, with high expectations of them.

Wave 2 is more targeted at pupils with SEN specifically. There may be access to specialist resources within the school, such as nurture groups, therapies, identified interventions and some 1:1 support. This can be for general ‘catch-up’ or the start of the graduated approach cycles of Assess, Plan, Do, Review. All staff have copies of   adaptive learning plans which give information on and strategies for individual students.

Wave 3 is usually where an external specialist may be asked to advise on more specialised support, generally where a student has not progressed as well as expected with the current additional support. This would form part of subsequent cycles of the graduated approach.

The person responsible for co-ordinating the provision of education for students with SEN at the school is the SENDCO, Mrs L. Lee  who can be contacted either by telephone on 020 8800 1044 ext.: 6005 or email l.lee@lubavitchmat.uk
