If the school is meeting the needs of your child through School Action:
-
the school must tell you if they think your child has special educational needs;
-
the class teacher or subject teacher will talk to you about any concerns which they might have your child;
-
what each teacher does for your child should be additional to and different from what they would normally do for children in their class;
-
the class teacher or form tutor and the Special Needs Co-ordinator will gather information about your child, make further assessments of their strengths and weaknesses, monitor and review the action and keep records;
-
the Special Needs Co-ordinator and the class teacher or form tutor will decide on the Action needed to help your child to progress;
-
this Action should be recorded within an Individual Education Plan ( IEP ), which should be reviewed at least twice a year and ideally each term;
-
the IEP should have three or four individual targets, chosen from the areas of communication, literacy, mathematics and behaviour and social skills to match your child's needs.
