How We Support SEND
Herne Bay Junior School prides itself in being very inclusive and will endeavour to support
every child regardless of their level of need. All pupils follow the National Curriculum and
outdoor curriculum at a level and a pace that is appropriate to their abilities.
At times and when it is felt appropriate, modifications to the curriculum may be implemented.
To successfully match pupil ability to the curriculum there are some actions we may take to
achieve this:
- Ensure that all pupils have fair access to the school curriculum and all school
activities. - Help all pupils achieve to the best of their abilities, despite any difficulty or disability
they may have. - Ensure that teaching staff are aware of and sensitive to the needs of all pupils,
teaching pupils in a way that is more appropriate to their needs. - To work in partnership with parents/ carers, pupils and relevant external agencies in
order to provide for children’s special educational needs and disabilities. - To identify at the earliest opportunity, all children that need special consideration to
support their needs (whether these are educational, social, physical or emotional) - To make suitable provision for children with SEND to fully develop their abilities,
interests and aptitudes and gain maximum access to the curriculum. - Ensure that all children with SEND are fully included in all activities of the school in
order to promote the highest levels of achievement. - To regularly review the SEND policy and practice in order to achieve best practice.
