Learning Support/SEND
At Nine Mile Ride Primary School, we celebrate the fact that all children are different and have diverse learning needs and we make sure we tailor learning opportunities to meet the needs of individual children. We build self-esteem with positive learning experiences and successfully involve children with whole school life.
We recognise SEND with the intention of addressing unmet needs; and enabling children to have an ability to engage, and develop skills and knowledge to achieve, succeed and even excel beyond their potential across all areas of the curriculum.
Staff have a wealth of experience in the field of SEND. We have a wide range of specific initiatives designed to meet the differing needs of pupils and children may take part in a single, or many different interventions. Differentiated learning is supported by a team of trained teaching assistants (TAs) Pupil progress is tracked and evaluated during this period. Movement in/out of these programmes is flexible and responsive to pupil need.
What are Special Educational Needs?
Special Educational Needs, or SEND, is a term that is used to describe pupils who have needs over and above those that can be met by high quality classroom teaching. These needs may be within speech and language; cognition and learning; social and communication difficulties; or emotional and behavioural difficulties. They may be for a short period or throughout a child’s educational life. They may be identified before a child has even entered school or they may come to be recognised at a specific point in their education.
Refers to the thinking skills and thought processes that a child has acquired through their prior experiences.
