Special Educational Needs (SEN) Team

Our aims are to ensure that:

  • we provide clear and consistent advice on all statutory SEN matters
  • statutory assessments are carried out within timescales laid out
  • there is equitable access to provision following a statutory assessment based on clear evidence of need and analysis of recommendations at moderation panel
  • we work with other agencies to enable pupils with Education Health and Care Plans (EHCP) to receive appropriate provision
  • we monitor outcomes for children who have Education Health and Care Plans (EHCP)
  • we deliver an inclusive, person centred service in line with the SEND Code of Practice 2014
  • schools understand their statutory responsibilities for pupils with SEN and Disabilities
