At Limes Primary Academy we ensure that we follow the statutory government document called SEND Code of Practice 2015.
As part of the SEND Code of Practice we follow an Assess, Plan, Do, Review Cycle, a minimum of three times a year.
- Assess- Teachers, SENCO and/or support staff assess each child to identify where they are in their learning. The type of assessments that take place depend on the individual child and their needs.
- Planning – Targets are then identified through assessments, as well as professional and parent knowledge of the pupil’s needs. Pupil voice is also captured. These targets are written down in a learning plan. During the learning plan review meetings parents discuss their child’s learning and targets with their class teacher. If a child is supported by an outside agency we also follow their advice when planning provision for pupils.
- Do – We implement the provision as agreed.
- Review -Assessments, observations and teacher assessments take place throughout the term. The learning plan is annotated and altered if needed. During the next learning plan review meeting, we discuss the progress that has taken place and celebrate successes that have happened. If we are concerned regarding a pupils progress or needs outside agency support is sought following a graduated approach.
