The school budget, received from Sunderland LA, includes money for supporting children with SEND.
The Head Teacher decides on the deployment of resources for Special Educational Needs and Disabilities in consultation with the school Governors, on the basis of needs in the school.
The Head Teacher and the SENDCo discuss all the information they have about SEND in the school, including:
– the children getting additional support already
– the children needing additional support
– the children who have been identified as not making as much progress as would be expected
They will then decide what resources/training and support is needed to best support the pupils.
Schools identify the needs of their pupils on a school provision map. This identifies all resources/training and support that is currently available and is reviewed regularly and changes made as required to reflect pupil need.
