​

At Rodmersham School, we recognise that every child is an individual, and their learning journeys differ. During their school life, some children may need additional support for their learning needs or disability. This may involve the class teacher planning targeted tasks, providing additional resources and equipment, and supporting focus groups. They may undertake some interventions to help them make greater progress with their learning. Some children are identified as having SEN Support Needs, which may require additional interventions and assessments or referrals to outside agencies for further assessment.

​

Parents and carers are given opportunities to discuss their child’s support and provide ideas to support their child at home. Children at the SEN Support Level or with an EHC Plan have targets written and reviewed three times a year. Class teachers meet with the Head and FLO during the year to discuss progress and plan additional support as needed.

​

Sometimes, in liaison with parents and carers, school staff may request a ‘Statutory Assessment’ by the LA, which may result in an Education, Health and Care Plan.

​
