Specialist SEND provision<\/strong><\/p>\n The Bridge School is a pupil referral unit for young people with SEMH difficulties. All learners are coded at school support (K) on the SEND Register. Students with an Education, Health Care Plan are coded as E. Provision for learners at The Bridge School with additional special educational needs and\/or disability is the responsibility of the school as a whole with specialist guidance from the SENCO, the Headteacher and management committee. All teaching staff are teachers of pupils with special educational needs. At The Bridge School, we adopt a graduated response with quality first teaching to meet special educational needs and\/or disabilities.<\/p>\n Statutory Assessment<\/strong><\/p>\n Where a request for a statutory assessment is made by the school to the LA, the pupil will have demonstrated significant cause for concern. The LA requires information about the pupil\u2019s progress over time and how their additional needs have impacted on learning. It is important that the school has followed a graduated response, and involved other professionals including an Educational Psychologist, before requesting the LA to consider an Education, Health Care Plan (EHCP). On gaining an EHCP, some of our learners move to specialist settings that are more appropriate for supporting the needs of the young person. Transitions, to mainstream schools or special schools are fully planned and supported by the child\u2019s keyworker.<\/p>\n Identification and review of pupil needs<\/strong><\/p>\n All learners at The Bridge School have displayed SEMH difficulties before referral. However, early identification of pupils with additional SEND is a crucial factor in overcoming barriers to learning. \u2022 Close analysis of attainment data These assist the SENCO, teachers and support staff to:<\/p>\n \u2022 Provide starting points for the development of an adapted and appropriate curriculum that meets the pupil’s needs Working in partnership with parents\/carers<\/strong><\/p>\n At all stages of the SEND process, the school keeps parents\/carers fully informed and involved. Regular meetings are scheduled to share the progress of the learner with parents\/carers and take account of their views. It is hoped that this will assist in supporting students to reach their full potential. Parents\/carers are encouraged to make a full and active contribution to their child\u2019s education.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.thebridge.halton.sch.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/230418-Bridge-School-19-2808-x-1872.jpg” _builder_version=”3.22.7″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [rev_slider alias=”send-process”] Specialist SEND provision The Bridge School is a pupil referral unit for young people with SEMH difficulties.
