_____________________ This page acts as King David High School’s Information report and explains in more detail how the SEND Policy is implemented at King David High School. This outlines how King David High School’s vision for the implementation the legislation and guidance within:
We (the SEND team, the leadership team, teaching staff and the governors) aim to provide every possible opportunity for every child to develop their full potential. Children with Special Educational Needs must be valued as individuals and should be encouraged to integrate with their peers, both socially and academically. They should have access to the school curriculum. At all times, consideration will be given to maintaining and enhancing the self-esteem, self-advocacy and independence skills of children with Special Educational Needs. Teachers are encouraged to respond to pupil’s diverse learning needs. Teachers take account of SEN requirements and make provision, where necessary and where possible, to support individuals or groups of children, enabling them to participate effectively in the curriculum activities, extra curricular and whole school activities. Such children may need additional or different help from that given to other children of the same age. We support children in a manner that acknowledges their entitlement to share the same learning experiences that their peers enjoy. We want students with SEND to have the same opportunity to have a broad and balanced curriculum as their peers. We want all students in as many lessons for as long as possible. Wherever possible, we do not withdraw children from the classroom situation. There are times, though, when to maximise learning, we ask the children to work in small groups, or in a one-to-one situation outside the classroom At King David High School we support students with a range of Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). We operate a needs led model, meaning that we will make reasonable adjustments for students based on need, not diagnosis alone. There are four areas of needs:
Students’ SEN needs can be highlighted/identified in the following ways:
