--- title: "SEND" url: "https://congletonhigh.com/about-us/sen" school: "Congleton High School" --- # Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Our Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) team can be contacted by clicking the link below: [Click here for SEND queries](https://www.congletonhigh.com/contact) All teachers at Congleton High School are teachers of all students and that includes students with a special educational need or disability. All work is appropriately adapted to meet the needs of students in every lesson. Subject teachers make assessments of student progress and attainment throughout the academic year. Where quality first teaching is not sufficient to secure progress for a student, intervention programmes may be offered. This intervention will depend on the individual student’s need. Students who have less than expected progress in maths or literacy may be offered small group intervention programmes for a fixed period. Others may be taught in a smaller set (circa 20 students or less) for the academic year. Older students may have one option block to use for extra support in maths or literacy. Our SEND team, with the support of a team of Teaching Assistants, can offer short-term, structured interventions for literacy and/or social interaction skills, as well as offering subject-based support. A suite of rooms, known in school as ‘XL’, is available to SEN support staff for teaching these interventions and also provides a safe haven for students at break and lunchtime should they need it. Some students with SEN will need ongoing support with learning, throughout their school life. These children will fall under the heading of ‘SEN Support’ and will be kept on a register in school so that all teaching staff are aware of their needs. Appropriate outside agencies will be asked to assist school in providing programmes of support and in carrying out further assessments as needed. Students requiring additional support will have the costs of the first part of that support met by the school’s own resources. Only when a severe difficulty is indicated would any top-up funding be provided by the Local Authority. This would be managed through an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP). The SEN Code of Practice requires the school to publish an SEN Information Report and a SEN Policy annually. This gives more detail about what parents and carers can expect from our school.
