The budget allocation is agreed between our school and the Local Authority at the beginning of each financial year. For 2017-2018 the school’s notional SEN budget amounts to £1929. Detail of how this money is used to support children and young people with SEND is shown below. This is monitored each term by the Governing Body.
Full details about the way in which funding is allocated to schools for special educational needs provision can be found here:
This is used to support children and young people with SEND by:
- This funding is prioritised to tailor make learning to ensure small steps of progress are continually made by all SEN learners
If a child has complex special educational needs, we could also receive additional funding from the Local Authority to meet the agreed outcomes.
A Costed Provision Map will be developed in liaison with the child, young person, parent or carer.
At Wearhead Primary School, for those pupils with very high needs, ‘Costed Provision Maps’ are created with detailed evidence of supporting resources provided in school. This builds a portfolio of the progress each child makes and additional funding and financial support can be applied for from the Local Authority.
Assessments and provision maps, target tracking and progress review meetings ensure that all learners achieve and make progress at Wearhead Primary School. Parents of children with SEND may meet with the SENCO (Special Educational Needs Coordinator) to discuss any costed provision concerns they may have.
If you would like to discuss your SEND requirements in detail please contact the school to arrange an appointment.
