The expertise and training of staff to support children and young people with SEND, including how specialist expertise will be secured.
Staff in school have expertise in meeting the needs of children with Autism. Some staff have additional post-graduate qualifications in meeting the needs of children with Autism. We also have staff with particular strengths in Makaton, Intensive Interaction, Attention Autism, Continence, Sleep, Theraplay, TEACCH and Team Teach. We work closely with the Speech and Language Therapy Service and based on their support and advice we work on communication programmes for the children.
Evaluating the effectiveness of the provision made for children and young people with SEN.
There is a clear self-evaluation strategy in place in school to look at the effectiveness of what we do for our children.
How children and young people with SEND are enabled to engage in activities available with children and young people in the school who do not have SEN.
All of our children have SEND.
Support for improving emotional and social development. This should include extra pastoral support arrangements for listening to the views of children and young people with SEN and measures to prevent bullying.
Social and emotional development is an integral part of what we do.
The school values are:
· We are kind
· We try
· We are a team
These are taught and used for rewarding positive behaviour. The staff team know the children very well and all the children have social and emotional targets as part of their individual education plans. Jessica Brooks and Kerry Smedley are the leads for wellbeing and they do a lot of work in organising curriculum activities for wellbeing.
How the school involves other bodies, including health and social care bodies, local authority support services and voluntary sector organisations, in meeting children and young people’s SEND and supporting their families.
At Mossbrook we work closely with a range of professionals to support our children. Some of our children have medical needs, and we have regular visits from the Nurse, Doctors, Dentists, Dental Hygienist, Physiotherapist, Continence Nurse, MAST workers, Occupational Therapists, and Speech and Language Therapists. We also have the support of Teachers from the services for children who are visually and hearing impaired.
Arrangements for handling complaints from parents of children with SEN about the provision made at the school.
If there is ever any cause for complaint the school has a complaints and compliments policy that highlights a graduated process for raising concerns.
