Falkland Primary School

We are committed to meeting the Special Educational Needs of our children, ensuring that they are encouraged and supported to achieve their full potential in every aspect of school life. We have high expectations for all children and use any additional resources and scaffolding to ensure all children can access our curriculum.

We endeavour to identify and provide support across the wide range of needs a child may have; communication and interaction, cognition and learning, social, emotional and mental health difficulties and sensory/physical needs.

We pride ourselves on being an inclusive school and children with special educational needs are taught inclusively with their peers through Quality First Teaching and Targeted Differentiation. Individual intervention from the SEND team is given when and where appropriate, depending on an individual child’s needs.

For more information regarding the SEND Information Report at Falkland Primary School, please click the link below. This is not only the Local Offer submission, but also acts as the SEND Information Report. You can also look at our SEND policy for further information.

At Falkland, we believe the involvement of parents in their children's progress and needs is vital. We believe strongly in working as a partnership with parents and the child.

To ensure the needs of all children with Special Educational Needs are being met and recognised we create “Pupil Profile” information sheets as part of the Support and Achievement Plans (SAPs). These share strengths, likes, dislikes and barriers to learning as well as personalised strategies for teachers and adults working within the class on how the curriculum can be adapted to suit their learning needs. 

Support and Achievement Plans, are reviewed and new targets set in the Autumn, Spring and Summer Terms.  Parents are invited into school to discuss next steps and plan targets together. These are discussed and shared with the children.

For children with an EHCP (Education Health Care Plan), we also hold Annual Reviews in addition to the termly SAP meetings.
