At Shotton Hall Primary School we believe that early identification and appropriate intervention improves the prospects of all children with special educational needs. For some children, giving more attention to early signs of difficulties can prevent greater difficulties later.
We aim to identify a child’s special educational needs as soon as possible on entry to the Foundation Stage, monitoring progress and achievement in line with EYFS. Profile assessment criteria. Concerns may also be expressed from parents, or other outside agencies, on or before entry to school. Children can be identified as having special educational needs through the following criteria:
- Significantly low or unusual EYFS Profile Assessment.
- Significantly below expected attainment for their year group.
- Significantly below age related expectations in numeracy and literacy requiring work that is different from that of any group within the class.
- Identification of need from nursery, Health, Social or Speech and Language
If you would like to discuss your SEND requirements in detail please contact the school to arrange an appointment.
