At our school we are keen to develop our partnership with parents.
Throughout the year there are planned opportunities for teachers and the SENCo to talk to parents about their children. Individual Education Plans are used to set the children targets. These will be sent home to parents so they can see what their child is working on next. If your child has an Education Health Care Plan, Person Centred Reviews will be held. A Person Centred review is a continual process of listening and learning about what is important to and for the person, now and in the future with family, friends and professionals working together to make this happen. The review looks at what’s working and not working, what’s important to the person now and in the future, and agrees outcomes for change. We also offer other opportunities to discuss your child and express your views. These involve • Parents coffee mornings/drop ins. • SEN Parent group meetings. • The school’s parent focus group. • INSIPRE workshops. • The class teacher is always available at the end of the school day. • On the school web site there is a place in the SEN drop down to add your e.mail address so contact can be made through e.mail. • If an outside agency is involved with your child they send information to you in a report.

We use Raiseonline annually to look at SEND results in comparison with National data.
We also use our tracking information on Step Up and through pupil progress meetings. In the pupil progress meetings each teacher has to say how effective provision has been, what interventions are required and what they will do in class to support children who are below expectations. When we do monitoring (book trawls, pupil conferencing, observations) we look at provision for SEND children then too and evaluate its effectiveness. We also use a range of assessment tools at Wheelers Lane Primary School. • Speech Link • Classroom Observations • Language and Literacy tool Kit • Intervention data
