Funding

Funding

The schools Delegated SEN Funding ensures provision to provide appropriate support for pupils with Special Educational Needs. We aim to support pupils through early intervention.

Funding is used to facilitate:

• Quality First teaching
• Whole school inclusive practice
• Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator (SENDCo) role and the wider Inclusion team
• Parent Liaison
• Liaison with external agencies including, additional Educational Psychology and Speech Therapy provision.
• To buy in additional expertise e.g. Specialist Teaching Service (STS)
• Provide resources to support differentiation including technology (ICT)
• Time to support staff in developing Individual Education Plans (IEP’s)
• Staff training

Sometimes an application is made for ‘Top-Up funding’ from the Local Authority for individual children with higher needs through an Education and Health Care Plan (EHCP).
