Your child will get SEN support at Camp Hill Education. Our school is designed to help pupils with SEN. This means we take a holistic approach to ensure needs are being met.

Special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) can affect a child or young person’s ability to learn. They can affect their:

  • Behaviour or ability to socialise, for example they struggle to make friends
  • Reading and writing, for example because they have dyslexia
  • Ability to understand things
  • Concentration levels, for example because they have ADHD
  • Physical ability

At Camp Hill we will ensure SEN pupils receive:

  • a special learning programme for every child
  • extra help from a teacher or assistant
  • to work in a smaller group
  • observation in class or at break
  • help taking part in class activities
  • extra encouragement in their learning, for example to ask questions or to try something they find difficult
  • help communicating with other children
  • support with physical or personal care difficulties, for example eating, getting around school safely or using the toilet

An education, health and care (EHC) plan is for children and young people aged up to 25 who need more support than is available through special educational needs support.

EHC plans identify educational, health and social needs and set out the additional support to meet those needs.

The school is committed to making good provision of teaching for students who have English as an additional language or are bilingual. The school will
identify individual student’s needs, recognise the skills they bring to school and ensure equality of access to the curriculum.

Equality of access to the curriculum for all students, including those for whom English is an Additional Language, is ensured not only by direct language
support from specialist teachers (EAL teachers), but also by a whole school approach. This comprises a learning environment that encompasses a
varied range of teaching and learning strategies.

The school will provide effective learning opportunities for all students by: setting suitable learning challenges, responding to diverse learning needs,
and overcoming potential barriers to learning.
