Update to SEN Information Report in light of COVID-19, school closures and SEND provision.

How does Gorsefield Identify and Assess SEND?

The Code of Practice states a Graduated Approach to the identification and assessment of SEN. The approach recognises that there is a continuum of special educational needs and that, where necessary, increasing specialist expertise should be brought to bear on the difficulties that a learner may experience.

How are parents involved?

  • When intervention programmes are put in place, parents are always involved in this process through the school’s mentoring meetings.
  • Parents are invited to SEN meetings for their children.
  • Individual Provisions Maps for children are shared with parents each term.
  • Bury Local Authority can be contacted to assist in enquiries – there is a “Local Offer” from Bury
