  • Annual Report to Parents and Governors on the Special Educational Needs & Disability Policy
    ANNUAL REPORT TO PARENTS AND GOVERNORS ON THE SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS & DISABILITY POLICY Schools have a duty to report to parents on the provision for SEND. Students with special educational needs require extra or different help from that given to other students of the same age. The SEND Code of Practice (2014) lies at the heart of the Academy’s SEND policy and sets out the processes and procedures that all organisations should follow to meet the needs of students. The Code describes a graduated approach which recognises that students learn in different ways and can have different kinds of SEN. At Woodkirk Academy, students may be on the SEND register as requiring “Additional Support”. This is so step-by-step support can be put in place or specialist expertise can be sought to help students overcome their difficulties. Students with more complex needs may have an Education & Healthcare Plan (EHCP). KEY PERSONNEL SENDCo: Mrs C.Worsley ([email protected]) SEND Governor: Mr R Aiston POLICIES The Academy’s SEND policy has been written in line with the SEND Code of Practice (2014). The policy is reviewed annually and follows the format of all Academy policies. COMPLAINTS The Academy has well established procedures for dealing with parental complaints. These are detailed in the Complaint Policy. LOCAL OFFER The Local Offer provides information for children and young people with special educational needs (SEND) and their parents or carers in a single place. It shows families what they can expect from a range of local agencies including education, health and social care with information regarding services for children and young people from birth to 25 years.
