SEND support

Additional support for students with particular needs

How will you work with me to help my child who needs additional support from adults at home to access remote education?

We recognise that students with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), may not be able to access remote education without support from adults at home. We acknowledge the difficulties this may place on families, and we will work with parents and carers to support those students in the following ways:

• Teachers will endeavour to follow the academy individual learning support plans (ILSPs) when delivering live lessons - where the guidance is not adaptable to remote learning, teachers will seek support from the head of department and/or the SENCO.

For some students with special education needs or disability, it is likely that more individualised planning will be required, and that the support of parents or carers in the home will be a significant advantage where possible. To provide this support, the academy SENCO will arrange and coordinate, as per the academy remote learning policy:

• contact with families and liaise with the IT technicians to ensure that the technology used for remote learning is accessible to all students and that reasonable adjustments are made where required.

• ensure that students with Education Health Care Plans (EHCPs) continue to have their needs met while learning remotely, and liaising with the headteacher and other organisations to make any alternate arrangements for students with EHCPs and IHPs.
