Governors

SIAMS December 2022

'The recently reviewed and renewed Christian vision permeates this warm and engaging rural village school. Governors keenly articulate how the vision stems from Christian theology. They draw upon the associated Bible verse to encourage and sustain them in their decision making. This results in a cohesive and strategic leadership body whose actions are fundamentally driven by the vision.'

SEN Governors' Statement to Parents

The school wishes to support children with Special Educational and Behavioural Needs and their integration into mainstream schooling. The school will identify any child with special needs and then discuss with parents the appropriate action required. Following the stages of the code of practice, a child with special needs will be registered in the school files at the relevant stage.

 

The School currently has 12 children on the SEN register at SEN Support and 1 pupil with an EHC plan. Each child has an Individual Education Plan containing specific short term targets. Cockerham School uses PIVATs 5 for pre-key stage targets and assessment.

 

All of the children on the register receive varying amounts of support.  All IEPs are reviewed termly and parents and children are invited to the reviews, where previous targets are discussed and if appropriate, new targets are set. IEPs are reviewed half-termly in EYFS.

 

If a child at SEN Support is seen not to be making progress, despite extra input from school, then advice is sought from outside agencies. This can lead to extra funding if the child's performance is significantly below age related expectations, according to the results of specific testing.

 

At present, according to statistics comparing our SEN children's progress with those nationally, our results show that progress is outstanding with children achieving far beyond the levels expected.

 

The SEN Policy and Information Report are (which are available on the website and in school) are ongoing plans showing how the School is attempting to meet its responsibilities to improve access in all areas for all users of the School.  The Disability Equality Scheme (also available on the website and in school) outlines in detail how the School is attempting to eliminate discrimination in as many areas as possible.

 

The school’s Special Needs Co-ordinator is Mrs Starr and the Special Needs Governor is Mrs Lesley Brookbanks.. The school’s Educational Psychologist can be contacted through Cockerham School.
