Identifying Needs at Aylward Academy
We will assess each pupil’s current skills and levels of attainment on entry, which will build on previous settings and Key Stages, where appropriate. Teachers will make regular assessments of progress for all pupils and identify those whose progress is a concern. This may include progress in areas other than academic attainment, for example, social or communication needs.

When deciding whether special educational provision is required, we will start with the desired outcomes, including the expected progress and attainment, and the views and the wishes of the pupil and their parents. We will use this to determine the support that is needed and whether we can provide it by adapting our core offer, or whether something different or additional is needed.

The steps Aylward Academy take if SEND is identified
If SEND is identified the stages of action are:
Initial concerns expressed by parent, teachers, health or social services professional
SENCO gathers information, makes initial assessment and informs parents of outcomes
SENCO seeks further advice/assessment from professional and outside agencies if required
If the young person is identified as SEND the SENCO will provide teachers, parents and the child with advice, strategies and provision suited to support their needs.
If you think your child has SEND you can raise concerns via your child’s form tutor, class teacher or contact the SENCO directly as detailed below:
