SEND Provision at The Willows Primary School
All children at The Willows receive quality first teaching. This means that a range of teaching and learning styles are used and that appropriate learning objectives are set for every child within a curriculum matched to their need. Progress and attainment of all pupils is reviewed termly at which time provision may be adjusted to meet identified needs. If a child is experiencing barriers which make it difficult to learn or engage with daily life then they are placed on our SEND register and school and home will work together to plan the most appropriate kinds of provision to meet their needs.
The SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disability) Code of Practice 2014 provides guidance to schools and parents about meeting the needs of pupils.
