In April 2013, the Government made changes to the way that funding is provided to schools. While they will affect how schools provide for pupils, the funding changes do not change the legal responsibilities of schools and local authorities for children with special educational needs (SEN). The Government is also making changes to the SEN system. The changes, currently set out in the Children and Families Bill, will not start to happen until September 2014. Until then, the current SEN framework, the law and the SEN Code of Practice all stay in place. Schools must "use their best endeavours" for children with SEN and they must "have regard to" the SEN Code of Practice. This means that they must follow it unless they can show that something else would work better. In addition, Ofsted will check on how well children with SEN are learning and how much progress they are making.
Our school SENCO is Mrs Sarah Briggs.Our school dedicated SEN Governor is Mrs Hannah Hogg. Please see our dedicated Safeguarding page to access our current SEN policy, a copy of the school's Single Equality Policy and the school's Complaints Policy.
