The kinds of SEN that are provided for:

At Moorside Primary, we currently have 30% of our pupils on the SEN register however this is a fluid list and changes throughout the year as needs are met and others are identified. At present, we have five children with an Educational Health and Care Plan (EHCP) and  further applications in the process of an EHCP  following the graduated approach. We have experience of supporting children and young people with a range of needs, including:

  • Speech, language and communication needs
  • Autistic Spectrum Disorder
  • ADHD
  • Attachment
  • Gross and fine motor difficulties
  • Sensory processing difficulties
  • Social, emotional and mental health needs
  • General and specific learning difficulties
  • Down’s Syndrome

The school provides data on the levels and types of need to the Local Authority. This is collected through the school census.

In our School, the greatest areas of need are Communication and Interaction and Cognition and Learning.  Currently, 30% of children in our school have an area of need from Reception to Year 6.  35% of this is in relation to Communication and Interaction.  35% in relation to Cognition and Learning, 26% in relation to Social, Emotional and Health Difficulties and 3% have a Sensory or Physical Difficulty. Note that there is an overlap of needs for many of our SEND children.

We also have staff who have undergone training to deliver Nurture Group  provision which aims to deliver  short-term focussed intervention for children with areas of difficulty which may create barriers to accessing learning within a mainstream classroom.

If you would like to discuss your SEND requirements in detail please contact the school to arrange an appointment.
