St John's Church of England School

St John’s Church of England Primary is an inclusive school who ensures that all pupils achieve their potential personally, socially, emotionally and academically in all areas of the curriculum regardless of their gender, ethnicity, social background, religion, sexual identity, physical ability or educational needs. The school offer and connecting policies along with the local offer are intended to give you information regarding the ways in which we ensure support and challenge to all of our pupils including those with SEN and disabilities, in order that they can reach their full potential. It may not list every skill resource and technique we employ as every child is individual our provision is regularly reviewed to meet the changing requirements for individual children.

Children are identified as having SEN when their progress has slowed or stopped despite high quality, targeted interventions and resources which have been put in place and have not enabled improvement potentially because of the nature of their additional needs. Once this occurs, we create specific needs based learning plans and pupil profiles in collaboration with the child, parents/carers and external agencies which help support their development and accelerate progress.

We aim to ensure that children with SEN at make good progress and achieve in line with other schools nationally. We ensure effective communication with parents and carers, in order to work collaboratively and secure the best possible outcomes for all our children. Children’s views are also critical in ensuring the right provision to meet children’s needs.  We work hard to ensure that reasonable adjustments are made to overcome barriers to learning. We have good relationships with outside agencies including;

• Educational Psychologist Service
• Speech and Language therapist service
• Occupational therapy service
• Harrow School Counselling Partnership
• Play Therapist
• Advisory teachers for children on the Autistic Spectrum, with visual or hearing impairments

Other useful documents such as our SEND policy and Disability Accessibility Plan are available on the school website. If you would like further information about what we offer here at St John’s Church of England Primary School, then please do not hesitate to contact us directly.
