St Cuthbert's Pre-School follows the Send Code of Practice with an emphasis on meeting the children's needs by ensuring their individual needs are met appropriately, for them to achieve. Through the observation process linked to the EYFS ages and stages of development, and in discussion with you, the Key Person, the SENCO will identify what support is required. Extra support will be put in place if necessary. On going partnerships with you, other professionals and ourselves will support the decision making process. Together with our SENCO this will support the decision making process to planned targets by using the Assess, Plan, Do and Review This will be written after consulting with you and will include how you can support your child at home. Through regular observations we can track your child¿s progress. Our SENCO will give advice on meeting your child¿s needs within the preschool in consultation with you and other professionals where necessary with your permission. Reports from health care professionals and other professionals, who are working with your child, will be used to plan support within the setting. Staff meetings within the settling will ensure all staff working with your child knows your child¿s strengths and needs, and how to support them.
