SEND

At Handforth Grange Primary School we are committed to welcoming all students. We have a resource provision for 7 children with Education Health Care Plans whose main area of need is Autism. Children within the Resource Provision will have a balanced curriculum designed to meet their individual needs with periods of time in mainstream classroom complemented by specific social and sensory integration programmes completed on an individual basis or in small groups. Adjustments will be made where necessary and where possible to enable all students for whom Handforth Grange Primary School is the best placement, to access lessons and social time as freely as possible. Needs and adjustments will be considered on an individual basis.

At Handforth Grange Primary School we follow the graduated approach to meeting special educational needs that requires the initial use of Quality First Teaching in the classroom, school interventions and resources before bringing specialist expertise to bear on the difficulties that a pupil is experiencing. When a young person is identified as having special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEN), school will intervene as described in our SEND Policy below. Working closely with parents and children to ensure that take into account the child’s own views and aspirations and the parents’ experience of, and hopes for, their child is integral to our approach. Parents are invited to be involved at every stage of planning and reviewing SEN provision for their child. All children benefit from ‘Quality First Teaching’: this means that teachers expect to assess, plan and teach all children at the level which allows them to make progress with their learning. We have high expectations of all our children.
