Looked After Children with SEND

We have a Designated Teacher for Looked after Children, Mrs H L Templeton (Headteacher), to ensure all teachers in school understand the implications for those children who are looked after and have SEN. Staff have also undertaken a range of Attachment Training with Kate Cairns associates.

Where a child has additional needs and is Looked after school will liaise with the Virtual School service to develop a Personalised Education Plan (PEP).

PEPs and SEND Support Plans are reviewed every term and parents/carers are invited into school to discuss the progress made towards targets and provision for their child going forward. Children with EHCPs meet annually (at least) with all professionals to agree annual targets, and then their SEND Support Plans are broken down to shorter-term targets to achieve across the course of a term. The Educational Psychologist may also attend review meetings where they are involved with a looked after child.
