SEND

Inclusion & Equality

 “Children have special educational needs if they have a learning difficulty which calls for special educational provision to be made for them. Children have a learning difficulty or disability if they: –

Have a significantly greater difficulty in learning than the majority of children of the same age; or

Have a disability which prevents or hinders them from making use of educational facilities of a kind generally provided for children of the same age in school.”

Ed. Act 1998 SEND Code of Practice, Section 312

Our School SEND Offer

Holy Trinity Church of England Primary School is an inclusive school. We ensure all pupils achieve their potential personally, socially, emotionally and academically in all areas of the curriculum regardless of their gender, ethnicity, social background, religion, physical ability or educational needs.

The School Offer along with the Hillingdon Local Offer and SEND Policy and SEND Information Report are intended to give you information regarding the ways we support and challenge all of our pupils, including those with SEN and disabilities, so they can reach their full potential. Every child is unique and therefore our provision is regularly reviewed to meet the changing requirements for individual children; this is called the Graduated Approach.

Children are identified as having SEN if their progress slows or stops despite high quality teaching and scaffolding alongside targeted interventions which have been put in place. Once this occurs, we identify the specific need or ‘barriers to learning’  and create an Individual Learning Plan (ILP)  in collaboration with the child and their parents/carers. Children’s views are critical in ensuring the right provision is put in place to meet their needs. 

We will also liaise with external agencies to help support the child’s development and accelerate progress if required. We work hard to ensure that reasonable adjustments are made to overcome barriers to learning. We have good relationships with external agencies including;

  • Educational Psychologist Service
  • Speech and Language Therapy service
  • Occupational Therapy service
  • Physiotherapist
  • Hillingdon CAMHS (Child and Adolescent, Mental Health Services)
  • Play Therapist
  • Send Advisory Service (SAS)
  • Child Development Centre (Hillingdon Hospital)

Other useful documents such as our SEND policy, SEND Information report and our Accessibility Plan are available on the school website.

If you would like further information about what we offer here at Holy Trinity Church of England Primary School, then please do not hesitate to contact us directly.

Our SENCO (Mrs Siobhan Morgan) is available to discuss any queries you may have; she is an experienced teacher and has completed The National Award for SEN Coordination (NASENCo) this has been a statutory award for newly appointed SENCos (since 2008) in maintained schools.
