SEND Provision at All Saints’

All Saints’ is an inclusive school which enables children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) to make the best progress they can in order to reach their potential. The school employs an Inclusion Manager to oversee this support and the school also has two SEND Governors who provide further support. In addition, the school adheres to Wandsworth Guidance on provision for pupils with SEND. At All Saints’ we believe early intervention is essential; if your child is identified with a Special Educational Need or Disability, they will receive special education provision. All staff at All Saints’ receive regular training on SEND in order to ensure pupils with SEND are fully supported.

As defined in the SEND Code of Practice, there are four main areas children may have difficulty with. These areas are: Communication and Interaction; Cognition and Learning; Social Emotional and Mental Health and Sensory and/or Physical needs. Provision for these needs is delivered in a number of ways.

We have a three-tiered approach to supporting a child’s learning.

Universal (wave 1): this is the quality first teaching your child will receive from their class teacher and may include some very minor adaptations to match learning needs.

Targeted (wave 2): it may be appropriate to consider making additional short-term special educational provision to remove or reduce any barriers to your child’s learning and ensure they can make the best progress possible. This takes the form of a graduated four-part approach – assessing your child’s needs, planning the most effective and appropriate intervention, providing (doing) the intervention, and reviewing the impact on your child’s progress towards individual learning outcomes. Specific targeted interventions may be run outside the classroom. These are planned for a set number of weeks and reviewed to evaluate progress against targets. You will be kept informed of your child’s progress towards learning outcomes.

Specialist (wave 3): it may be necessary to seek specialist advice and regular long-term support from a specialist professional outside the school in order to plan for the best possible learning outcomes for your child. This may include intervention or advice from the following services: Educational Psychology, Speech and Language Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Wandsworth Autism Advisory Teachers and the Child Development Service. The school may need to prioritise referrals to these services. For a very small number of children, access to these specialists may be through an EHCP. We follow the ‘Graduated Approach’ to meeting your child’s SEND needs. 

If you would like to discuss your child’s needs, please speak to either the class teacher or the Inclusion Manager directly (they can be reached via the office).
