Special Educational Needs and disabilities

In order to foster a 'love of learning’ many steps are taken to support children through their journey at Funtington School, encouraging them to always be ‘moving forward' in their learning.

We do this through ensuring that all children receive Quality First teaching, which includes adapting our curriculum  and lesson design for individuals and groups. 

Some children require further enhancements to support them to access learning within the classroom and various strategies will be implemented on a whole-class or individual level as required. These include, but are not limited to:

• the use of visual aids, a visual timetable & symbols
• learning scaffolded where appropriate
• clear class routines 
• clear whole school/class rules and rewards
• targeted intervention
• SEAL to develop social/emotional skills
• specific equipment in class to support learners

We believe that quality teaching is vital and will ensure that children progress well. However for some children there are occasions when further additional support may be needed to help them achieve their targets.

Please read more about how we support children with additional needs, by reading the detailed guide 'SEN information report' which aims to answer any questions you may have around how we support pupils with SEND at our school. It also provides details of who to contact should you require further information.
