SEND

At Anna Seward, we strive to support all children to enable them to achieve well at school. In order to do this, many steps are taken to support them through their learning journey. Quality first teaching is vital; however for some children there are occasions when further additional support may be needed to help them achieve.

All staff take responsibility for inclusion with support from our ATLP Hub SENCo; Michelle Spires.

We ensure high quality provision for pupils who have any of the following needs and seek regular training and expert advice to ensure we are meeting the needs of all pupils.

Cognition and learning	Children who find learning, thinking and understanding harder than most other pupils
Communication and Interaction	Children who find it difficult to interact with others and the world around them
Social, emotional and mental health difficulties	Children who find it difficult to manage their emotions and behaviour in a way that affects their everyday life
Sensory and/or physical needs	Children who have a disability that may make it difficult for them to manage their everyday life without changes to the physical environment or support through a range of personalised resources.

We believe that early identification is essential in ensuring that pupils receive the right support at the right time. In line with the SEND Code of Practice, Anna Seward, takes a ‘Graduated Approach’ to identifying additional needs of the pupil and work together with parents/carers at all stages.

Please take a moment to find out more about the support we offer children with identified additional needs within our School information report.

The Arthur Terry Learning Partnership is committed to keeping our students safe, both in school and the wider community. As part of our safeguarding arrangements, we have a two-way information sharing agreement in place with the local police authority. The agreement is compliant with Crime & Disorder Act 1998 (s.115) and Data Protection Act 1998(s.29.3; s.35.2.), and focuses on preventing young people from becoming involved or further involved in crime and anti-social behaviour as a victim or offender.
