Special Educational Needs

SEND provision for children at Bramley Vale Primary School

As part of the Children and Families Act 2013, Local Authorities are required to publish a ‘Local Offer’ which sets out support that is available for children and young people with SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) in the local area.

Derbyshire’s Local Offer is available on the website

https://www.localoffer.derbyshire.gov.uk/home.aspx

and tells parents how to access services in their area and what to expect from these services.

Alongside this schools are required to publish information about their arrangements for identifying, assessing and making provision for pupils with SEND.  At Bramley Vale, it is our aim that all pupils, including those with additional needs, make the best possible progress. We provide support for pupils across the four areas of need that are set out in the Special Educational Needs (SEN) Code of Practice 2014. These are:

  • Communication and interaction – speech, language and communication needs (SLCN) ASD, including Asperger’s Syndrome and Autism, are likely to have particular difficulties with social interaction.
  • Cognition and learningmoderate learning difficulties (MLD), severe learning difficulties (SLD), where children are likely to need support in all areas of the curriculum and associated difficulties with mobility and communication, through to profound and multiple learning difficulties (PMLD), Specific learning difficulties (SpLD) such as dyslexia, dyscalculia and dyspraxia.
  • Social, emotional and mental health difficulties anxiety, depression, self-harm, eating disorders, behavioural issues, attention deficit disorder (ADD), and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
  • Sensory and/or physical needs disability, vision impairment, hearing impairment or a multi-sensory impairment.
