SEN Information Report – (please read in conjunction with the local offer)
Manor Green Primary school caters for up to 185 pupils who have learning difficulties. All pupils who attend our school must have an EHCP or a statement of SEN. Pupils will have moderate, severe or complex learning needs. Many of our pupils have a social communication difficulty (ASD).
The school ensures that all pupils have personalised learning opportunities and provision is matched to need through our cycle of self-review and an audit of our school effectiveness.
Our system for tracking pupil progress is embedded across the school with evidencing of pupil progress. The achievement co-ordinator, lead learners and subject leaders evaluate attainment and progress throughout the year. Progress review meetings take place every term and at these meetings we also discuss health, well-being and behaviour as well as academic progress. Following these meetings, if required, the team put positive strategies in place.
The school has a tailor-made, creative curriculum which is highly motivating to all our learners and is personalised to meet the needs of every pupil.
At Manor Green we strive to offer all our pupils the breadth and balance of the National curriculum but the content is modified to meet the complex needs of all of our pupils.
Most of our pupils are educated in generic class bases but we also have 6 classes for pupils with additional needs (3 social communication classes, 2 classes for pupils with SLD and 1 class for pupils with complex needs).
The school structure is reviewed annually to ensure that we have the capacity to meet the needs of our school.
We have our own occupational therapist and physiotherapist who work with our NHS providers for therapy services to ensure that all our pupils have the support and intervention required to maximise their progress.
The school offers pupils the opportunity to participate in the Forest School initiative and off site sports activities. All of our Year 6 leavers are offered the chance to participate in our residential weeks.
As an Arts mark gold school we offer all pupils the opportunity to visit a museum, gallery or theatre during the academic year and everyone participates in our Winter production, Big Draw week and Creative week. We also have a STEM week, Book week and Poetry week. We also have a variety of special events and weeks to support our commitment to delivering a multi-cultural and multi-faith curriculum.
The school follows the SEAL (social, emotional and aspects of learning) as our PSED scheme. All pupils have PHSE time daily with a PHSE assembly for every child on a Tuesday morning. On Friday it is ‘Star of the Week’ assembly.
The school has a comprehensive appraisal policy for the school team and each member of staff has a professional development plan to ensure that we have a team that has the knowledge, skills and expertise to meet the SEN of all our pupils. The headteacher is a national leader in education and the school is a national support centre. The school is a teaching school – The STAGE Alliance and also a strategic teaching school partner within the SCLIP alliance.
The school is having major building works this year to ensure that we have capacity to meet the needs of our local population. The school carries out an annual improvement plan review and through this process the school ensures that it has the specialist equipment and facilities to meet the needs of all our pupils.
The school has consultation evenings three times a year when parents and carers meet the class team and discuss next step targets and discuss progress. There is also an annual review (EHC plan) meeting. Pupils complete their own booklet and this is shared with attendees at the meeting. At the end of the academic year parents are given a progress record and also a blue evidence folder of achievement from the academic year including the assessment update. Alongside this there are red alert meetings if pupils are not making rapid and sustained progress during this meeting a plan is put in place regarding provision and resources to ensure that the right support and intervention is in place to achieve rapid and sustained progress.
The school has a rolling programme of parent/carer workshops to keep families up to date on teaching and learning strategies in the core subjects.
The governing body have a complaints procedure which is on the web site and if parents wish to use this procedure they are given this information by the office staff or the HLTA who has responsibility for family support.
