At Seething and Mundham Primary School, we recognise that every child is special and unique. We are committed to working together with all members of our community to provide the best possible education for the pupils in our care. Our broad and balanced curriculum is never narrowed and every child is given opportunities and, where required, support, in a nurturing environment to allow them to achieve the highest possible standards. We ensure we comply and go beyond our duties under the Equality Act 2010 and the Special Educational Needs and Disability Regulations 2014.
Section 6 Special Education Needs
Our staff are committed to meeting the needs of all our children and strive to break down any barriers that are preventing children from making the progress they are capable of. As a school, we recognise the importance of not only supporting children’s academic progress but also developing their behavioural, emotional and social skills to enable them to be confident, independent learners and happy children.
The 7Cs, is one of the tools we use to help accurately identify need and determine next steps. The 7Cs are: Cognition, Communication, Curriculum, Control, Coordination, Creativity and Compassion. This helps us to support children in all areas of need. We also support children and families with referrals to external professionals, where needed, including Educational Psychologists, Specialist Learning Support Teachers, Speech & Language Therapists and more. We work closely with parents, in termly meetings, to ensure we have the whole picture to decide on the best provision for the child together. Please see our SEN Information Report for more information.
