SEND: Special Educational Needs and Disabilities

Welcome to the Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) Page

We hope you will enjoy reading about the variety of ways in which Fox Hill Primary School is able to support SEND students to reach their full potential.

At Fox Hill Primary School we welcome every child into our community in line with our school values to ‘Nurture, Inspire and Challenge for Excellence’.

Every student at Fox Hill has the opportunity to follow all National Curriculum subjects. We are committed to narrowing the attainment gap between SEND and non-SEND students. Questions/concerns about learning/attainment, progress, targets, behaviour, self-esteem and wellbeing should be discussed initially with your child's class teacher. With guidance from the SENCO, teachers will plan and review provision for your child. An Individual Education Plan, or IEP, may be drafted with parents/carers for pupils identified as SEN Support (on the SEN register). This may include after school interventions, short-term intervention learning programmes, home-school intervention learning programmes or other learning interventions developed on an individual needs basis.

At Fox Hill, students and parents will be at the heart of decision making, ensuring high-quality education pathways are carefully planned around the specific needs of the students. We believe in working in partnership with parents.

If your child has a disability and you would like to know more about what we offer at Fox Hill please read the information on our website and contact our SENCO for further information.

Our Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator is Mr Keohane, who works as SENCO from Monday to Wednesday. He is contactable via the school office or through email.

Our Governor with responsibility for SEND is Mrs. Susan Cahill.
