At Callow End we provide a welcoming, safe and supportive environment in which Christian values are central to the ethos of the school and its teaching. We have high aspirations for all our pupils so that they can achieve their full potential in life. As part of this ethos we are an inclusive school and provide support to children with special educational needs or disabilities (SEND).

 Our school SEND coordinator is Mrs Clare Stockford who is responsible for the day to day operation of SEND Policy and the co-ordination of specific provision made to support individual pupils with SEND, including those who have statements or EHC plans.

Callow End  C.E Primary School - SEND Local Offer 'Ordinarily Available'

Callow End C.E Primary School is committed to providing an appropriate and high quality education to all the children living in our local area.  We believe that all children, including those identified as having special educational needs, have a common entitlement to a broad and balanced academic and social curriculum, which is accessible to them, and to be fully included in all aspects of school life.

Levels of Intervention

For pupils at Callow End C.E Primary School, their needs are met using three levels of intervention, described as ‘waves of support,’ which support access to the new National Curriculum.

Wave 1 is the provision of quality inclusive teaching that takes into account the learning needs of all the pupils in the classroom. It includes differentiated work, flexible groups and creating an inclusive learning environment.

Wave 2 is the provision of specific, additional time limited interventions provided for some pupils who need help to accelerate their progress or enable them to work at or above their age-related expectations. They are often targeted at a group of pupils with similar needs. 

Wave 3 is the targeted provision for a minority of pupils where it is necessary to provide highly tailored intervention to accelerate progress or enable children to achieve their potential.

The Graduated Response

Where a child is identified as having Special Educational Needs, schools and settings should take action to remove barriers to the child's learning and put effective special educational provision in place. This is called SEN support. Support should take the form of a four-part cycle involving the parent and carers and the child. By taking this approach earlier decisions and actions are revisited, refined and revised with a growing understanding of the child's needs and of what support will help to secure good progress and good outcomes for them. This approach is known as the Graduated Response.

Equality Statement

Navigating all the school and county has to offer children with special educational needs and disabilities can be both challenging and confronting in equal measure.

We have compiled a list of relevant information to support you to support your child.

The Worcestershire County Council 'Local Offer'  helps parents/carers understand what services they and their families can expect from a range of local agencies. It should help them understand how the system works, and how the local authority, local area and the school will support both the child and the family.
