SEND at Stanhope

Stanhope Primary School is a mainstream primary school (Nursery -Y6) We have 280+ pupils on role. Admissions to school are made through Nottinghamshire central admissions. 

We are an inclusive school and will aim to make any arrangements needed for all children to be fully included in our school.

We work closely with Local Authority Specialist Teachers from Specialist Inclusion Services (SIS) where a child has a specific need such as a Hearing Impairment, Visual Impairment or Autism.

Children are identified as having Special Educational Needs if their progress has slowed or stopped and the interventions and resources put in place do not enable improvement. Once this occurs, we have specific target setting plans which help support their development and accelerate progress. At this point the child is listed on our ‘SEND register’ for these pupils. Parents will be invited to discuss and review targets and support three times a year with the class teacher.

We scaffold teaching and learning tasks to suit the needs of the learner. Risk assessments will be written and shared with parents when they are needed and we can write a personal evacuation plan if that is required.

You can find full details of how we support children with additional needs in our School SEND Information Report and Policy below.
