Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND)
All school work is differentiated according to the needs of the pupils. Children with special needs are identified in school and suitable targets are set with appropriate programmes put in place.
The school tracks all children’s progress so that a child at any level has developmental targets to reach. Sometimes it may be in the child’s best interests to follow a particular programme. Parents will always be informed in this case.
Work is differentiated to ensure able children are suitably challenged.

Complaints
Complaints about SEND provision We urge parents / carers with any concerns regarding the SEND policy or the provision made for their child to speak to the academy as soon as possible and, in the first instance, to the class teacher or the SENCO. If parents / carers feel their child's needs are still not being met they should make an appointment to see the Headteacher. If concerns are still unresolved parents / carers may wish to engage with PDET’s Complaints policy procedures.
NB - any issue relating to statutory SEN assessments should be pursued with the relevant Local Authority and not via PDET’s Complaints policy.
