Wishmore Cross Academy SEND Report
At Wishmore Cross, our children and their needs are the central focus of everything that we do. We meet every child where they are with unconditional positive regard, recognising that many join us having been out of education for some significant time and with negative experiences of school. We work closely with families to put in place the support needed to enable their child to access education and thrive.
We believe in the importance of every child achieving and making strong progress and enjoying their learning experience through adapted high quality teaching, informed by the NASEN Teacher Handbook best practice.
All of our children have provisions outlined in their EHCPs to meet their needs, there are also occasions when additional specialist support is required to allow us to support the next steps in their learning journey. Additional support may be given for a set period of time or for a longer period to ensure every child can access our curriculum effectively and are fully included in learning opportunities and school events. Our parents/carers are informed, included and supported throughout such periods of provision.
All our children have identified primary needs in the area of Social, Emotional or Mental Health however many also have other needs in the areas of:
Communication and Interaction (most commonly autism and/or speech and language needs)
Cognition and Learning (most commonly specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia)
Physical or Sensory (most commonly hearing and/or visual impairment)
At Wishmore Cross, teaching and learning opportunities are adapted and continually evaluated (with the support of external agencies when required) to ensure the needs of all of our children are met.
See our EHCP page to see how we may meet your child's needs.
