February News

Welcome to the second SEND blog. We hope you found the information in the previous blog helpful.

  • Date for the diary- SEN Café. On Thursday 5th March we will be hosting our first SEND parents café. This café is for any parents of a child with identified SEN. The children will not be attending and it will be an opportunity to meet other parents of children with SEN in a relaxed and informal way. There will be tea and biscuits and Claire Jack from Family Voice will be attending to talk about their role and the support they offer to families. The café will begin at 9 and run until 9:45. The aim is for this to be quality time for you as parents to work together alongside the school so ideally younger siblings would not attend. We hope to see you there!
  • We have recently been reviewing the format of the pupil passports and action plans. We have decided to make some changes and simplify the pupil passports to a one page profile. The child’s views will recorded on these profiles alongside your views as parents as to how to best support your child. More information to follow at the next parents evening. 
  •  At the moment on the Just One Number website there is free access to the Sollihull Online learning course. The Solihull Approach ‘Understanding Your Child’ is a free online course available for everyone who cares for children aged 0-18 years. It’s there to help you recognise emotions in yourself and your child to see how they can impact on behaviour. The course can help increase your confidence as a parent or carer so that difficulties encountered in everyday life are reduced by seeing the child’s behaviour from their point of view. A closer relationship between you and the child can develop, resulting in a calmer and happier household for everyone. Please follow the link below for access to the course:  https://www.justonenorfolk.nhs.uk/online-learning

Summer News

During this summer term the children have enjoyed a variety of events such as The Norfolk Show, Sports Day and the Summer Fayre, as well as school trips. Whilst these days are enjoyable, for some children, these events and the change to routine can be very unsettling and induce anxiety. Thank you for working with us to support your child. The children have been amazing, and overcoming their fears has allowed them to create some special memories.  The children are beginning to think about their next class, so I wanted to take the opportunity to outline SEND transition arrangements. Depending on your child's needs, they will take part in some or all of these  transition activities.  Transition Days- 14th and 15th July. Children will arrive in their classes in the morning. They will be told by their current teacher, who their next teacher(s) will be. The children will then move to spend the day in their new classroom.  Some children with SEND who find transition very challenging will

We have had a successful start to term and we have been very proud of the way that the children have transitioned back after the holidays.  We have recently had some questions regarding our Nurture provision. We are lucky to have a wonderful Nurture team led by experienced practitioners.  In our school Nurture is used as an umbrella term. Within the Nurture team a variety of different interventions are run from Zones of Regulation to Lego Therapy. The team work with children individually and in small groups. They also work with children to help them manage their worries and anger. We are led by the needs of the children at the time.  The children attending nurture are identified by the class teacher and following a conversation with the Sendco we contact parents regarding the suggested provision. The sessions are usually held once a week.  If your child is experiencing overwhelming anxiety that is only presenting outside of school, then Just One Norfolk have some useful resources on th
