How is the decision made about the type of provision my child will receive?
The school budget, received from Newham Local Authority, includes money for supporting children with special education needs (SEN). The Head Teacher decides on the deployment of resources for Special Education Needs and Disabilities in consultation with the school governors on the basis of needs in the school.
The Head Teacher and the SENCo discuss all the information they have about Special Education Needs in the school including:
- The children getting support already
- The children needing extra support
- The children who have been identified as not making as much progress as would be expected
From this information they decide what resources training and support is needed
