  •  Please be aware that the pupil passports and action plans will be changing. The new versions will be shared with you at the upcoming parents evenings. The action plans remain very similar but you will notice that the different sections of the plan have been labelled to indicate the assess- plan- do – review cycle of support for your child. 
  • The pupil passports have been replaced by a One- Page Profile. This is to prevent duplicating information between the pupil passports and action plans and also to make your child’s needs clearer for anyone supporting them. To put the child at the centre of the process one section will be completed with them to include their views. There will still be a parent section which we urge you to complete and return to the class teachers asap.

Please see an example one page profile below:

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.
