St Andrew's is a mainstream VA secondary school that currently has children in Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4. The school believes that all children and young people are entitled to an education that enables them to:

• Achieve their best;

• Become confident individuals living fulfilling lives;

• Make a successful transition into adulthood, whether into employment, further or higher education or training.

Under section 65(3)(a) of the Children and Families Act 2014 the Governing Board is required to publish information about Special Educational Needs policy and provision. This information is updated annually and was last updated in September 2022.

​

At St Andrew's, we place importance on the effective and rigorous delivery of quality first teaching.  We believe that this is fundamental to meeting the needs of all students, but particularly those students with specific SEND.

 

Quality first teaching

​

All teachers are expected to deliver quality first teaching strategies in their lessons. This includes differentiation, chunking instructions/activities, seating students to accommodate hearing or loss with vision; larger font worksheets; visual reminders; lists of key vocabulary and allowing students thinking time before expecting an answer.

Teaching staff receive regular training to enhance there teaching and strategies are regularly shared by the SENDCo for individual students – though they benefit all students. All students on the SEND register have a Pupil Passport outlying the specific strategies that teachers should use to benefit them.
