SEN PROVISION AT RUTLAND AND DISTRICT SCHOOLS’ FEDERATION

Rutland and District Schools’ Federation ensures that students with SEN are supported in a wide variety of ways at all settings including:

  • The ethos of settings across the Federation is inclusive;
  • Opportunity for support / provision to go on trips;
  • A wide range of intervention strategies are applied through both pastoral and progress monitoring;
  • A robust tutor, class or room teacher system to ensure all students have access to someone they know well and whose parents can access with ease;
  • Termly monitoring of the progress made by students on the SEN register by relevant staff;
  • Implementation of study support for students who would benefit from targeted intervention with a slightly reduced timetable;
  • Students with statements have key workers responsible for all aspects of their provision;
  • Careful deployment of staff to maximise progress.

To support children with SEND, at the Primary, the following additional support may be put in place.

  • School support plans;
  • Testing for literacy diagnostic;
  • Small teaching groups;
  • 1:1 teaching;
  • Specific programmes, including:
