Special Educational Needs and Disability Governor: Vacancy

At Roughlee Church of England Primary School we work with children and their families who have a wide range of special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). Our SEND philosophy places SEND children at the heart of personalised learning and our curriculum and provision is tailored to meet individual children’s needs. All pupils follow the National Curriculum at a level and pace suitable for their ability and to successfully match pupil ability to the Curriculum, we are committed to:

• Differentiated materials (both for reinforcement and extension).

• Access to ICT.

. A range of teaching and learning styles.

• Additional in class support.

• Additional out of class support.

• Flexible groupings (including small group work).

• An innovative and supportive curriculum.

• The appropriate use of rewards and sanctions.

• Mentoring and counselling.

• A broad range of extra-curricular activities.

• Assessment procedures that emphasise children’s strengths and achievements.
