Intent 

NLS aim to support every child with SEND in accessing a broad and enriching educational experience. In addition to the educational offer, students develop leadership and wider skills through both subject and pastoral opportunities. Students are provided with high quality teaching adapted to suit the diverse needs of all learners, in order for them to reach their potential, and in preparation for adulthood.

The SEND team, as part of the IEN Faculty, offers timely and appropriate support for students and their families using a graduated approach, drawing from a range of external professionals as required. This approach is achieved within a highly resourced provision, through strong stakeholder engagement, clear lines of communication and effective continued professional development. 

At North Leamington School we have a fabulous team who support students with a range of additional needs. Our facilities and resources are extensive, and we are very proud of our provision. The SEND team provide teachers and students with advice, help and support to enable all students to learn effectively. We work closely with specialist SEND teachers, speech and language therapists, educational psychologists, occupational therapists, physios and other professionals.  

All short-term (Wave 2) and long-term (Wave 3) interventions are tailored to individual need and are based on a
graduated four-part cycle (assess, plan, do, review). Through this cycle, actions are reviewed and refined as understanding of a student's needs and the support required to help them secure good outcomes increases. Parent and student view is always important to us in planning our provision and support for our students.

 

Feedback includes:
We have been really pleased about our son’s start at North Leamington School, the team have created a positive and safe learning experience and he is thriving. The school has been brilliant at working in partnership with us (the parents), as well as my son who feels supported and listened to during each school day. 

Since my daughter joined NLS in September, she has become a confident and happier student. Her understanding of her school work has improved massively as has her grades. The teachers and staff offer a wide range of help and support to ,my daughter and me.  All her SEN needs have been met and staff gone above and beyond to make sure she feels supported. i feel confident that she is in a school where she is cared for and can thrive. 

Within weeks of  my daughter starting staff got to know her extremely well able to help her feel safe and  to learn. They treat her as an individual and have focussed on areas she needs more help with. 

Communication between us and school has been excellent and queries quickly dealt with.  We feel they understand her and her needs which gives us confidence in supporting  her reach her maximum potential throughout her school life. 

The SEND team have been fantastic with a smooth transition for him. I have found staff to be very approachable and helpful with any questions I have had.
