Introduction to SEN
Our SEN Information Report – which is part of Durham County Council’s Local Offer – provides details about how we support children and young people with Special Educational Needs in our school.
The SEN Information Report was reviewed and updated on 02.11.18.
At Sherburn Primary School the staff, Governors, pupils and parents work closely together to provide a creative and stimulating environment, which is fully inclusive and ensures all children achieve their full potential.
At Sherburn Primary we make sure that all pupils, regardless of their specific needs or disabilities, make the best possible progress from their starting points. Our provision for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities provides a curriculum tailored to support, challenge and maximise the children’s achievements in all areas of learning.
School Ethos and approach
At Sherburn Primary, we are committed to the equal inclusion of all pupils in all areas of school life. We recognise the diverse and individual needs of all of our pupils and take into account the additional support required by those children with Special Educational Needs (SEN). Our School is committed to anti-discriminatory practice to promote equality of opportunity, prevent disabled pupils from being treated less favourably and valuing diversity for all children and families.
Consultation in Production and Review Arrangements of SEN Information Report (SIR)
At Sherburn Primary School, we ask parents to complete a questionnaire annually. The information gathered from parents and pupils is used to improve our SIR. The SIR is reviewed and updated annually. It was last updated November 2018 and should be read alongside the school’s SEN Policy, the Equalities Information and Objectives, Safeguarding Policy and the Accessibility Plan. The SIR is monitored, evaluated and ratified by the Governing Body.
