SEND INFORMATION REPORT How we support pupils with additional needs at South Hill Primary School Updated April 2025 To be reviewed by June 2026 *Please note there is a Glossary of Terms at the end of the document Introduction: This report is to help parents and carers understand how we meet the needs of pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) in South Hill School. All Hertfordshire Local Authority (LA) maintained schools have a similar approach to meeting the needs of pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) and are supported by the LA to ensure that all pupils, regardless of their special needs, make the best possible progress in school. At South Hill Primary School we have a whole school community where we aim for everyone to feel valued, accepted and able to contribute. We do this through having mutual respect and understanding for everyone in our community. Our approach is supported by our Positive Behaviour Policy, which has a therapeutic approach to understanding, supporting and teaching valued behaviours and our Equality Objective Plan, which is there to ensure there are equal opportunities for all. We believe children learn best when they feel happy, secure and confident. At South Hill we strive for all children to have a Quality First Teaching and a broad and balanced curriculum. Hertfordshire supports all schools to be as inclusive as possible, with the needs of pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) being met in a mainstream setting wherever possible. At South Hill we support children with a wide range of need which fall in the four broad areas of SEND need. These are: ❖ Communication and Interaction ❖ Cognition and Learning ❖ Social, Emotional and Mental Health Difficulties ❖ Sensory and Physical Needs What is the SEND Information Report? The Children’s and Families Bill requires local authorities and schools to publish and keep under review information about services they expect to be available for the children and young people with SEND aged 0-25. Hertfordshire publish a ‘Local Offer’ which lets parents and young people know what special educational needs and disabilities services are available in Hertfordshire, and who can access them. The intention of the Local Offer is to improve choice and transparency for families. It is also an important resource for parents and carers in understanding the range of services and provision in the local area. https://www.hertfordshire.gov.uk/microsites/Local-Offer/The-Hertfordshire-Local-Offer.aspx All Schools also publish a SEND Information Report which provides information about the services and provision in their school. In addition, there is a lot of information to support parents of children with SEND on our school website: https://www.southhill.herts.sch.uk/send Contents South Hill Primary School’s Information Report is written in a question and answer style.

Glossary of Terms Questions 1a) How does the school know if my child needs extra help? Concerns are raised by parents/carers, teachers or the child: Meetings, telephone calls, emails that share concerns from parents/carers or teachers Teachers may have discussions between parents/carers and the SENCO Limited progress is being made Assessments are made by the teachers all the time when children are in class and also through assessments and tests. Termly Pupil Progress Meetings with the leadership team Despite good quality teaching There is a change or concern about a child’s behaviour (e.g frequent toilet breaks, very distracting to others, overly emotional, disengaged, high level of emotional support required) A child is dependent on adult support to access the learning A child finds it difficult to make themselves understood, or finds answering questions tricky Use of checklists and assessments to identify areas of learning or emotional wellbeing that are in need of support Liaison with external agencies e.g. Speech, Language, Communication and Autism Team, Early Years Team Health diagnosis through a paediatrician, which has an impact on the child's life in school Poor school attendance due to anxiety Liaison with previous school or setting, if applicable return to the information report questions 1a 1b) What is the definition of SEND?: 1b 1c 1c) What should I do if I think my child may have special educational needs? Parents/Carers who are concerned that their child may have SEND issues should talk to their child’s class teacher. After talking to the Class Teacher, it may be appropriate to make an appointment to see the SENCO. Often, the initial response will be to consider how the child’s needs can be met through changes in approach or strategy, adaptation, (making the curriculum more accessible for the child) or through the implementation of a classroom intervention. The SENCO may, if appropriate, refer to outside agencies for support e.g. school nurse, family support worker, optician, audiologist. return to the information report questions •First talk to Class Teacher about concerns and consider how to support any needs together •If concerns continue, make an appointment to see Mrs Donley, SENCO, via the office and consider how to further support any needs •If concerns continue, your child may have SEND and can continue to be supported through the school Passport to Success Meetings 1d 1d) How does the school identify children with SEND? Typical Assessments Used at South Hill Primary School: Early Identification of Need: Reception Baseline Assessments Social, Emotional, Mental, Health: Conners SNAP IV questionnaires, ABC sheets, Therapeutic Thinking Tree Mapping, Anxiety Tracking Sheets, Speech and Language profiles for social communication difficulties, Play Therapy Reports, Neurodiversity checklist, observations, pupil emotional checklists, Salford Emotional Questionnaire Autism: As above plus: Neurodiveristy Checklists, Sensory profiles, Speech and Language Assessments, AET resources, observations Speech Language and Communication Needs: WellComm Screening Tool and Big Book of ideas, Speech and Language screening tools and assessments, Articulation Screeners Physical Disability: Observations, Neurodiversity checklists Specific Learning Difficulty: Phonic checks in year 1 and 2, Hertfordshire SPLD Baseline Packs for Literacy and Maths, Read, Write Inc Assessments, Running Reading Records, Handwriting assessments, neurodiversity checklists, memory tests and checklists, slow processing checklists, Year 1 phonics screening, Executive Functioning Checklist Visually Impaired/Hearing Impaired: Hearing and Sight tests, observations Moderate/Mild Learning Difficulty: In school progress assessments and tests, memory tests and checklists, slow processing checklists return to the information report questions 1e) How is my child’s progress tracked? return to the information report questions Teachers and the Senior Leadership Team meet at least three times a year at Pupil Progress Meetings to discuss progress, attainment and any barriers to learning. Class teachers and subject leaders monitor pupil progress through formative and summative assessments 3 x a year this is recorded in a database and analysed 1e 2. How will school staff support my child? If a child has been identified as making less than expected progress the first response is high quality teaching targeted at their areas of weakness (Universal support). If over a sustained period of time progress does not improve a variety of measures may be taken including; a) Adaptated and Differentiated work based on needs (universal support) b) Reasonable Adjustments – such as timetable changes, additional equipment, brain or sensory breaks. These are recorded in the first section of the school's Passport to Success which includes a 1 Page Profile at a glance sheet, with strategies and interests of children identified c) Intervention group with TA (targeted support) – this may be class based or separate from the main class, this may include pre-teaching or overlearning support d) Assessments: the school may use screening tools for dyslexia, dyscalculia, ASD/ADHD inlcuidng SpLD Maths/Literacy Packs or Read, Write Inc Phonic Assessments to uncover barriers to learning or gaps in learning e) ‘Passport to Success’ co-produced and reviewed three times a year f) SMART Targets – through use of an Individual Education Plan (2nd section of the School’s Passport to Success) g) Therapeutic Risk Reduction Plan to support social, emotional, mental health and behavioural concerns h) Medical Healthcare Plan and / or Personal Emergency Evacuation Plan to support medical conditions or Disability i) Small Steps of Progress: A few children may not be able to access the national curriculum or be making very slow progress. They will be assessed using PIVATS 5 or The Engagement Profile (if below PIVATS 5 level 5). In Reception class, we also use the IAELD (Individual Assessment of Early Learning and Development) j) Referral to specialist support if necessary. E.g. Educational Psychologists; Speech and Language therapists; Speech, Language, Communication and Autism advisory teachers; Dacorum Education Support Centre, outreach teachers; family support. N.B. In Hertfordshire it is generally required that two cycles of the ‘Assess, Plan, Do Review’ Graduated approach have been implemented before a referral is made to external professionals (at South Hill this means the Passport to Success with Smart Targets will need to have been reviewed at least twice before seeking external support). k)In very exceptional circumstances, the school may apply for Local High Needs Funding (LHNF) to enable an additional adult to support in class or with the child For a few children, it may be necessary for the parents/carers and school to make a request to Hertfordshire SEND Department for an Education Health Care Plan assessment. These plans are designed for those children who have very exceptional, complex and demanding needs which require close monitoring to ensure that a child’s needs are met. The School SENCO will support Class Teachers in assessing needs, planning and implementing interventions and reviewing progress. The school SENCO will, as required, support class teachers to make referrals to gain specialist advice for children in their class. This may lead to consultations with the advisory service, class teacher, parent/carer and SENCO. 3) How will I know how my child is doing? High expectations of each child in their class coupled with making the learning accessible through adaptation of tasks and skilled differentiation usually ensures that children are making at least expected progress and frequently higher than expected progress. However, some children require additional support in spite of this. When a child is placed on a targeted intervention, progress is monitored by both the class teacher and SENCO through pupil progress meetings which occur three times a year. Parents are informed through: Parents' evenings School Reports Informal chats with your child’s class teacher after school – it would be helpful, but not essential, to book an appointment Home school communication books (for particular children) Formal meetings with your child’s class teacher and the school SENCO, Headteacher or other professionals The effectiveness of the school’s provision for children with SEND is evaluated by the Senior Leadership Team, reported to governors and monitored by OFSTED 4a) How will the learning and development provision be matched to my child’s SEND? When a pupil has been identified with special needs adjustments will be made to ensure learning is accessible through adaptation and differentiation to enable them to actively participate in their lessons Reasonable adjustments may be required, tailored to a child’s individual needs, such as: additional equipment, adaptations to equipment, flexible starting/pick up times, sensory/ movement breaks, small step sequential work The graduated approach means that the pupil will be assessed, a plan created, implemented and reviewed at least 3 x a year. If the child’s difficulties persist despite several cycles of assessment and intervention, then further specialist support may be requested from external agencies Specific recognised interventions may be implemented e.g. Learning Village (phonics and vocabulary), Lexia (reading) or IXL (maths) Teaching Assistants (TAs) may be allocated to work with the pupil in a 1-1 or small focus group to target more specific needs return to the information report questions 2 3 4 4b) What is the graduated approach? Class Teachers will ensure that all learning, through quality first teaching, is engaging, motivating, made accessible and differentiated as required, this is known as 'Universal' support. Children whose progress is slower over time, than that of their peers, starting from the same baseline, will be identified and interventions will be made within the class to accelerate progress – this is recorded as ‘Targeted’ support and is recorded on the class provision map. Concerns will be shared with parents and carers and we will work in partnership to aid accelerated progression to enable the child to ‘catch up’. Other barriers to progress and attainment, such as English as an Additional Language (EAL), housing, family or domestic circumstances will also be considered and supported as required. If a child continues to make slower than expected progress or there continue to be concerns in other areas such as social and emotional wellbeing, the SENCO, working with the class teacher and the parents or carers will gather additional information by talking to others who know the child and make assessments to identify any underlying causes. If barriers to learning are identified, the child may then be considered as having a special educational need or disability (SEND). The child will be placed onto the school’s SEND register and a Passport to Success will be co-produced with the parents/ carers, the child, the class teacher and SENCO. Through this process, appropriate intervention and adjustments to minimise the impact of barriers will be considered, often this will be a number of specific strategies that are implemented within the classroom. If it is necessary to support progress in learning or emotional regulation, with a small step approach, highly specific and very specialised support may be put in place, this is known as ‘Specialist’ intervention, and it will recorded using SMART targets in an Individual Education Plan (IEP), which at South Hill is the 2nd section of the Passport to Success. This level of support will also be noted on the class provision map. The process of assessing a child’s barriers to learning, planning appropriate provision, implementing the plans and reviewing the impact of the plans is known as an ‘assess, plan, do, review cycle’ otherwise recognised as the ‘Graduated Approach’. The assess, plan, do, review cycle is an ongoing process. The review will take place at least 3 x a year at a dedicated SEND Passport to Success meeting. At these meetings the class teacher, parents/carers, the child (when appropriate) meet to discuss progress made, consider on-going concerns and plan the next steps of support. Together they co-produce and review the ‘Passport to Success’ and if necessary the IEP. The SENCO will support the teacher of the meeting ahead (if required) and will attend if parents/carers and / or the class teacher request this support. return to the information report questions 4b 5 5) What support will there be for my child’s overall wellbeing? The school has a wellbeing policy and offers a variety of methods to provide pastoral support for pupils who are encountering emotional difficulties. 5a) Our Positive Wellbeing Culture The culture at South Hill School promotes children’s positive emotional health and wellbeing and avoids stigma: The school have a Wellbeing team, led by Mrs Albery who meet regularly to ensure that support is meeting the needs of the children.

Individual Education Plan (IEP)– For every child who receives special education and related services a plan is needed to help deliver a programme to help them get the most out of their education. Intervention – intervention is the term used for any additional programme that teachers may employ to support a child or groups of children to tackle difficulties in targeted areas. Interventions may be carried out in class or away from the classroom. They are often run by teaching assistants in conjunction with the Class Teacher/SENCO.

Passport to Success – South Hill’s approach to ensuring all the information that will support our children with SEND is in one place – it is designed to help adults working with the pupil know what to do to support them. Our passports are written by the class teacher the pupil and the parents. The Pupil Passports are particularly useful during transitional times in the school year, they help new class teachers and support staff find out more about the pupil.

This is to enable staff to decide which individuals or groups of children need particular interventions to support their learning the following term. Personal Emergency Evacuation Plan (PEEP) - A bespoke “escape plan” for individuals who may have difficulties evacuating a building to a place of safety Pupil progress meetings (PPM) - these are meetings which are held at least every term. Class Teachers and Senior Leadership Team consider the progress and attainment of every child in the school and considers whether there is any additional support required to help individuals or specific groups of children so that they will reach their end of year target.

The Zones framework provides strategies to teach students to become more aware of and independent in controlling their emotions and impulses, manage their sensory needs, and improve their ability to problem solve conflicts. 8 9 10 11 13b 14 15 16 Glossary

Art Art Vision To progress pupils' skills and creativity in drawing, painting, collage, 3D art, textiles, printing, use of IT, sketchbooks and knowledge and for them to understand that this is the process of making art. Curriculum At South Hill, we want to inspire all of our pupils to experiment with art, to see it as an expression of self/mood and to take ownership of their work. Through the use of sketch books, pupils are encouraged to evaluate, experiment and work creatively to ensure they have a freedom of expression in the subject. In EYFS, pupils are introduced to the building the blocks of art through the key learning area ‘Expressive arts and Design’. In Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2, pupil’s skills and knowl edge are developed through our golden threads, which progress throughout the school and allow us to build on previous knowledge and to make links between what we have already learnt and what we are learning now and in the future: We study a wide variety of a rtists and learn many artistic techniques. For example: In EYFS, pupils experiment with collage based on the work of Matisse In Year 1, pupils study close ups of flowers inspired by Georgia O’Keefe In Year 2, pupils print with leaves in the style of Andy Warhol In Year 3, pupils draw with pencil and charcoal in the style of Quentin Blake In Year 4, pupils research and recreate the work of Watercolour artist Adrienne Pavelka In Year 5, pupils study the history of sculpting to create an Egyptian decorated scarab beetle In Year 6, pupils learn to create a World War 2 landscape print in the style of Paul Nash . Arts Mark Gold and local links South Hill have been awarded Gold in the ‘Arts Mark’ to reflect ‘…children's understanding of arts and artists from a wider variety of different cultural heritages, so that cultural diversity is being promoted through your arts curriculum…’. We also have a strong link with our local secondary school and a local private school, who run workshops with Upper Key Stage 2 pupils every year to extend pupil’s skill development. Whole School Art Gallery We run an annual art week, where as a school we work with one topic or theme (for example ‘Patterns in Nature’). We explore different skills and styles and produce a final piece of art. This art work is then displayed in a whole school art gallery to which parents are invited to view with their children. Parents can purchase their children’s work, treating the event as a true art gallery. Art competitions We encourage children from EYFS up to Year 6 to take part in art competitions, run and judged both in house and by external companies. For example, we have entered the ‘Dacorum Young Artist’ competition and the ‘CPRE Art’ competition. As a school, we celebrate all who enter, by displaying all entries in assembly and awarding certificates and house points. Long Term Plan Subject Overview Examples of knowledge organisers EYFS Year 2 Year 4 Year 6 Pupil Voice "I am allowed to get messy in art."

Reading vision To develop children’s decoding, comprehension and fluency to provide them with the reading skills to access the whole curriculum Reading and Phonics Phonics και Read Write Inc. Στη Νότια Δημοτικό Σχολείο Hill, χρησιμοποιούμε το Read Write Inc πρόγραμμα (RWI) φωνημάτων για να πάρει τα παιδιά μακριά σε μια καλή αρχή με την παιδεία τους. Το RWI είναι μια μέθοδος μάθησης που επικεντρώνεται στους ήχους και τα φωνητικά των γραμμάτων και τη χρησιμοποιούμε για να βοηθήσουμε τα παιδιά να διαβάζουν και να γράφουν. Η ανάγνωση ανοίγει την πόρτα στη μάθηση. Ένα παιδί που διαβάζει πολλά θα γίνει καλός αναγνώστης. Ένας καλός αναγνώστης θα είναι σε θέση να διαβάσει πιο απαιτητικό υλικό. Ένα παιδί που διαβάζει προκλητικό υλικό είναι ένα παιδί που θα μάθει. Όσο περισσότερα μαθαίνει ένα παιδί, τόσο περισσότερο θα θέλει να μάθει. Χρησιμοποιώντας το RWI, τα παιδιά μαθαίνουν να διαβάζουν αβίαστα, ώστε να μπορούν να βάλουν όλη τους την ενέργεια για να κατανοήσουν τι διαβάζουν. Τους επιτρέπει επίσης να γράφουν αβίαστα ώστε να μπορούν να βάλουν όλη τους την ενέργεια στη σύνθεση όσων γράφουν. Όταν χρησιμοποιείτε το RWI για να διαβάσετε τα παιδιά: Μάθετε 44 ήχους και τις αντίστοιχες ομάδες γραμμάτων / γραμμάτων χρησιμοποιώντας απλές προτροπές εικόνων Μάθετε να διαβάζετε λέξεις χρησιμοποιώντας τον Fred Talk (π.χ. γάτα) Διαβάστε ζωντανές ιστορίες με λέξεις που έχουν μάθει να ακούγονται Δείξτε ότι κατανοούν τις ιστορίες απαντώντας σε ερωτήσεις Όταν χρησιμοποιείτε το RWI για να γράψετε τα παιδιά: Μάθετε να γράφετε τα γράμματα / ομάδες γραμμάτων που αντιπροσωπεύουν 44 ήχους Μάθετε να γράφετε λέξεις λέγοντας τους ήχους στο Fred Talk Γράψτε απλές προτάσεις RWI στο Δημοτικό Σχολείο South Hill: Οι μαθητές υποδοχής λαμβάνουν συνεδρίες RWI σε καθημερινή βάση αρχικά Οι μαθητές του 1ου έτους λαμβάνουν συνεδρίες RWI καθημερινά για 20 λεπτά εστιάζοντας στη Φωνική Καθώς εξελίσσεται το σχολικό έτος, οι μαθητές Υποδοχής και 1ου έτους ομαδοποιούνται ανάλογα με την ικανότητα για τις καθημερινές τους συνεδρίες Για περισσότερες πληροφορίες, δείτε τα συνημμένα παρακάτω.

International Day Each year at South Hill School, we celebrate 'International Day'. Each year group represents a country from around the world which is also representative of our South Hill communities. For that day, year groups represent and learn more about their chosen country and can wear traditional clothing from their celebrated country or colours of the flag. All pupils learn about the geography of their chosen country and where to locate the country on a map, what continent the country is part of and what countries are nearby, we might learn about famous buildings and landmarks.   For PE, we are lucky to have Don Rae Academy join us to teach traditional dances from each country. Make sure you come in and watch our fantastic performances in the afternoon!   For MFL (Modern Foreign Language), all year groups learn a few key phrases and words. We also focus on learning a traditional song!   All year groups have the opportunity to taste food originating from that country. Some year groups complete a food tasting activity while other year groups make the traditional food themselves. Some year groups look at the religion and the history of their chosen country, focusing on some significant people from that country and how the country has possibly changed over time. The countries remain the same each year, ensuring that our children gain a rich understanding of different cultures and traditions from all over the world. The countries represented are: Reception- Bangladesh Year 1- Poland Year 2- India Year 3- Romania Year 4- Portugal Year 5- Turkey Year 6- Ghana "I wanted to pass on my thanks to the staff who made today (international day) at school so special. My son came home very happy and inspired by the country (and food!) of Bangladesh. The dance performance at the end of the day was wonderful and you could see how hard children and staff worked to make this happen." Parent of a pupil in EYFS
