• Uses a variety of sources and methods to identify and diagnose the special educational needs of students. These include information passed on by primary schools, standardised test results and the ongoing monitoring of student performance by all teachers and independent computerised assessment

• Ensures that the identified needs of students are recorded and addressed and that progress made in meeting those needs is carefully monitored, evaluated and reviewed at regular intervals and any problems arising are addressed

• Encourages parents/guardians to take an active role in the SEN provision for their child and seeks their views in evaluating progress

• Ensures that specialist staff within the school promote access to the curriculum for students with special educational needs through a range of support strategies to individual students, teachers and departments

• Is committed to providing support for students with special educational needs in a variety of ways – in small groups/through in class support/individually

• Recognises the needs for and the benefit of the careful differentiation of work and the use of a variety of assessments to ensure all students experience a sense of achievement and progress
