- Reading and Writing
- Maths or other number work
- Understanding instructions and comprehension
- Maintaining concentration in lessons
- Friendship and relationship difficulties
- Behaviour
- Expressing themselves and understanding the emotions in others
- Sensory needs
- Physical needs
SEND at The Streetly Academy
There are four broad areas of need which are used to identify SEND.
At The Streetly Academy, we have dedicated coordinators in each area.
In line with the SEND Code of Practice 2014, schools are to provide graduated responses to additional needs within
the student population. The Streetly Academy have adopted a tertiary layer of ‘M’ students who are potentially at
risk, these are briefly described below
EHCP (Education, Health and Care Plan)
EHCP (Education, Health and Care Plan)
An EHC Plan is for when your child needs more help after trying all options for a minimum of two terms.

A child may need an EHCP if they are not making progress in spite of the support in place (the support a school can provide without external professional input) and/or they have an SEN or disability that's holding them back in school.

Students identified at SEND Support, are not making adequate progress despite receiving Tier 1 and timely Tier 2 targeted support and access to interventions, but through Tier 2 and Tier 3 responses (requiring special educational provision) are expected to narrow the gap between their academic performance and peers within approximately six further academic terms.

Monitor
Monitor
Students who may have received primary school intervention/s or have been identified through our internal data analysis of potentially being at substantial risk of not making adequate progress, but are currently making adequate progress through universal quality first teaching (QFT) responses. These students are initially reported to have no immediate foreseeable learning difficulties and are therefore placed into the ‘Monitoring’ category.
