How are pupils with Special Educational Needs involved in their own education?

We aim to involve all children in our school in the evaluation and implementation of their own education. For children with Special Educational Needs we use a variety of strategies to support this including:

  • Involve child in setting their own targets where appropriate

  • Self-assessment at the beginning and end of learning using a variety of ways e.g. traffic light colours or thumbs up and reflective comments

  • Having a range of equipment available for the child to choose to use e.g. left handed scissors, timers, pencil grips

  • Ensuring the child works with a range of different partners

  • Ensuring the child has a designated adult to go to if they need help

  • Membership of the school council

  • One page profiles

  • Communication cards

  • Visual timetables

  • Prompt cards to promote independence

  • Personalised work stations Learning breaks
