Special Education Needs and Disabilities (SEND)All Hallows is committed to equal opportunities for all. We put our students at the heart of everything we do, guided by the truth and love of Christ.
The SEND Department vision is to provide a nurturing, inclusive, and empowering environment where every student with an identified need can thrive and reach their full potential. We aim to equip students with the skills, confidence, and independence necessary to succeed in school and to ensure a successful transition to the next educational phase and adulthood. The Ark, our bespoke facility within the main building, provides a nurturing and supportive base for all students with SEND. The facility comprises of designated intervention and teaching spaces, an IT suite, group work area and book nook, all utilised to ensure the best outcomes for our students. We understand that unstructured time can be stressful for some students and therefore offer daily support and facilities which encourage the development of social skills and a quiet calm space when needed. In line with the SEN Code of Practice we follow the graduated approach to ensure the continual monitoring and assessment of our students as their strengths and needs develop and change. This approach follows four stages: Assess, Plan, Do, Review which are implemented from the very start of a student’s time at All Hallows. transition
We have a well-established communication process with all feeder schools and therefore ask that for any student coming to the school with a history of Special Educational Need and Disability (SEND) that parents facilitate communication with the pupils existing school’s Special Educational Needs Coordinator. Starting at All Hallows
To gain a full picture of student needs, both independently and relative to other pupils, all students are screened on entry to the school and feedback is gained from both teaching staff and the pastoral team to inform decisions about intervention and support. The SEN code of practice outlines that “high quality teaching, differentiated for individual pupils, is the first step to responding to pupils who have or may have SEN”. All teaching staff are therefore trained in SEN support and high-quality teaching is a focus in every classroom at All Hallows. Information is shared by the SEND department on individual students’ strengths, needs and way of working to inform teacher planning and ensure reasonable adjustments are made by staff to accommodate individuals’ needs. Referral System
We operate a referral system to enable concerns raised by teachers, parents or guardians to be sent directly to our SEND team. This provides an additional layer of monitoring of need for the SEND department and ensures a clear line of communication between teaching staff and the SEND team. Support
Our Learning Support Assistants (LSAs) work collaboratively with teaching staff to ensure that adaptations are made to learning resources and environments where needed. Our LSAs further contribute to an extensive intervention programme which enables students to make the best possible progress whilst maintaining an ambitious and rich curriculum. The SEND department, in liaison with Heads of Year and Heads of School utilise information drawn from the school’s attainment and effort tracking to identify any SEN pupils who are not making good progress and determine appropriate support. |
