SEN Specialist Expertise

SENCO and SEN Staff

  • Consult with all parties involved with the child

These include:

How We Secure Specialist Expertise

Our Additional Needs Budget is used to support children and young people with SEN. In 2021/22 this amount is £30,276.28.

This is used to support children and young people with SEND by:

  • Providing support staff to work with children with SEN
  • Provide training for staff
  • Purchase resources for children with SEN (ear defenders, weighted vest, wedge cushions, intervention programmes)
  • Buy into services from specialist services such as Educational Psychology Service, Cognition and Learning Team, Autistic Spectrum Condition Team, additional Speech and Language Therapy.

If a child has complex special educational needs, we could also receive additional funding from the Local Authority to meet the agreed outcomes.
