Wigmore School Academy Trust is an inclusive learning community. We want every one of our children to achieve the best possible educational and personal outcomes to become happy, healthy and fulfilled adults that are able to contribute to society.

We have high aspirations for all pupils and none more so than those with Special Educational Needs or Disabilities.

At Wigmore School Academy Trust we ensure that we meet the individual learning needs of all our pupils through Quality First Teaching, additional interventions, a personalised approach and high expectations for all. We ensure that all pupils make the best possible progress through a challenging curriculum in which every child can succeed.

Underpinning ALL our provision in school is the graduated approach and the four-part cycle of assess, plan, do, review.

The class or subject teacher will work with the SENDCO to carry out a clear analysis of the pupil’s needs. This will draw on:

The teacher’s assessment and experience of the pupil
Their previous progress and attainment or behaviour
The individual’s development in comparison to their peers and national data
The views and experience of the family
The pupil’s own views
Advice from external support services, if relevant

The assessment will be reviewed regularly.

All teachers and support staff who work with the pupil will be made aware of their needs, the outcomes sought, the support provided, and any teaching strategies or approaches that are required. We will regularly review the effectiveness of the support and interventions, and their impact on the pupil’s progress.
