  • Special Educational Needs and Disability Information
    STEPHENSON STUDIO SCHOOL SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS AND DISABILITY INFORMATION What kinds of special educational needs does the school make provision for? Stephenson Studio School welcomes students with special educational needs as defined by the new SEND Code of Practice 2014. We expect students to access mainstream lessons and activities, with support, where necessary. Stephenson Studio School caters for a wide range of Special Educational Needs, Disabilities and medical needs. These include ASD, dyslexia, ADHD, physical difficulties such as hypermobility, diabetes and emotional difficulties. Working closely with parents and professionals we will always seek to teach every child so they can achieve his or her best. How does the school know if students need extra help and what should I do if I think that my child may have special educational needs? Progress and achievement is rigorously tracked and the data is used to identify both underachievement and lack of progress. We gather information from: KS2 teacher assessments including SATs results Primary Annual Reviews and transition meetings EHC Plan documentation Information from outside agencies including ADHD Solutions, Behaviour Support Service, Educational Psychology Service and the Autism Outreach Team Baseline Assessments in English, maths and science, including standardised literacy testing Where we have concerns about progress we will seek advice from other agencies as appropriate. When a child is transferring from a different setting a process is put in place to ensure successful transition. Within the school the progress of every child is carefully tracked and any concerns due to these assessments, or professional observations, will be raised with the parent by the Tutor, Personal Coach or SENDCO.

This is the stage between the approval of your application and the opening of the school. The setting up of a studio school is a challenging but ultimately very rewarding task and it will require significant commitment and time from sponsors and partners. Your original application set out your plans for establishing the studio school, from the education vision and the admission of pupils to the recruitment of staff and the curriculum. Now your application has been approved, you must begin work to implement these plans. The letter of approval you received from the Department for Education (DfE) sets out important conditions of approval.

Berlin SUBJECT: Conferral of Degrees: Dowling College, New York Studio School of Drawing, Painting & Sculpture and Glasgow Caledonian New York College DATE: August 29, 2019 AUTHORIZATION(S): SUMMARY Issue for Decision (Consent Agenda) Should the Board of Regents confer degrees upon students successfully completing programs at Dowling College, New York Studio School of Drawing, Painting & Sculpture and Glasgow Caledonian New York College?

  • Home to School Transport Policy 2021-2022
    Home to School Transport in the Royal Borough The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead provides some help and support with home to school transport. This policy applies from September 2021 and covers: • Home to school transport for children aged 4 to 16. • Home to school transport for children with special educational needs. Home to school and college transport for young people aged 16 and over is detailed in the separate Post 16 Policy Statement This policy sets out: • The rules for deciding who gets help with transport. • How to apply for assistance. • What type of transport might be provided. • Special circumstances when more help may be available. Welcome Children and young people arriving at school or college in the morning will best achieve their potential if they are on time and ready to learn. For most families, this means that they make their own arrangements to get the child or young person to school or college and pupils are encouraged to engage in active travel to school such as walking or cycling, accompanied as appropriate. Some children and young people can get help with their journey to and from school from the Royal Borough if they live more than a certain distance from their nearest school, or if they have special educational needs that mean that they can’t safely walk to school. We provide this help in line with national guidelines and legislation, which means that some children and young people are eligible for free home to school transport. This guide sets out who is eligible for this help.
