Typically, a child with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities will have an Individual Education Plan which sets out targets that are currently being worked on and what additional provision is put in place for that child. The content of the plan is negotiated, as appropriate, with the child and the child’s family. This is why it is so important that parents/carers attend our Parental Consultation meetings. At every stage of the process both the child and family are held as central to what the school does.
