SUPPORTING SEND AT THE GRANGE

At E-ACT The Grange School, we provide a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment for all of our children, we endeavour to meet their individual needs and break down barriers. Teachers provide adapted learning opportunities for all children and provide materials appropriate to children’s individual needs and abilities. This ensures that all children have an appropriate access to the school curriculum.

It is our responsibility to ensure that pupils with special educational needs have the maximum opportunity to attain and make progress in line with their peers. We focus on individual progress as the main indicator of success and liaise closely with a range of outside agencies to support our vulnerable learners. 

Agencies we work with to support your child

Laura Phillips is our SENDCo here at The Grange School (laura.phillips@gra.e-act.org.uk).  Her role focuses on coordinating provision for pupils with additional needs, including the maintenance and analysis of our whole-school provision map and overseeing the records of all SEND learners. Our SENDCo regularly evaluates the impact and effectiveness of interventions and provision and monitors the progress made by our SEND learners.

At The Grange School, we strongly believe that all staff are well equipped to meet the needs of our pupils. We continue to invest in staff training to ensure that our children make best possible progress socially, emotionally and academically. Our SENDCo liaises with and advises teaching staff in quality first teaching, manages other classroom staff in supporting vulnerable learners and contributes to in-service training.
