Children Looked After (CLA) with SEND

We have a Designated Teacher for Children (who are) Looked After, Miss Kaye Hodgson, who is also our SENDCo. Her role is to ensure that all teachers in school understand the implications for those children who are looked after and have SEND. Staff have also undertaken a range of Attachment Training with Kate Cairns associates.

Where a child has additional needs and is a child who is looked after, school will liaise with the LACES service to develop a Personalised Education Plan (PEP).

PEPs and SEND Support Plans are reviewed every term and parents / carers are invited into school to discuss the progress made towards targets and provision for their child going forward.  Children with EHCPs meet annually (at least) with all professionals to agree annual targets – an Annual Review, and then their SEND Support Plans are broken down to shorter-term targets to achieve across the course of a term.
