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 March 2019.
At Kelloe Primary School we recognise the diverse and individual needs of all our pupils and take into account the additional support required by those children with Special Educational Needs (SEN). All pupils are entitled to a quality of provision that will enable them to achieve their potential. We believe in positive intervention, removing barriers to learning and raising expectations and levels of achievement. We also work in partnership with other agencies in order to provide a positive educational experience for all our pupils, including those with a special educational need and disability.
We focus on the teaching and learning needs of the pupils by knowing the children well and having high expectations of all our pupils. We recognise that there are pupils who require additional considerations to support their SEN. We aim to provide a safe and caring learning environment which allows children to enjoy learning, experience success and aspire to reach their full potential and independence.
At Kelloe Primary School, we have a Designated Teacher for Looked After Children who works closely with the SENCo to ensure all teachers in school understand the implications for those children, who are Looked After and have SEN.
We ensure that all pupils, regardless of their specific need, make the best possible progress.
This SEND Information Report should be read alongside the school’s SEND Policy, the Equalities Information and Objectives and the Accessibility Plan.
