Supporting children with SEND
at Shipley CE Primary
We believe that all children with Special Educational Needs must have their needs recognised and assessed, through a whole-school approach, with appropriate and timely intervention put in place through an assess, plan, do, review cycle. All staff have due regard to general duties to promote disability equality.
The school provides appropriate manipulatives and in-class support enabling all children to access the whole curriculum, both within the Early Years Foundation Stage and the National Curriculum. This is delivered through comprehensive, well-informed Quality First Teaching and an on-going, adaptive approach where communication between staff members, parents/carers and pupils is paramount to our success. We implement the Christian, inclusive, SEND principles adopted by our academy trust, BDAT (Bradford Diocesan Academies Trust).

Children with an identified need will be given short term achievable targets (SMART) which ensure that small steps in progress are continually being made.
To assess children working pre key stage, we use the 'Progression Steps' documents below. Using the following supporting documents, teachers are able to assess a child's strengths in each area and the identify their next steps.
