Special Educational Needs

At St Margaret’s at Troy Town we are ambitious for all pupils, including those with SEND.  We strive to support all children to enable them to achieve well at school, be inspired and flourish both academically and personally.

We use a clear, graduated approach to identify needs early and provide the right level of support at the right time.

High quality inclusive teaching is the first step in supporting pupils with SEND. Class teachers adapt learning to enable access to the curriculum and where needed, additional targeted support is provided to help pupils achieve their individual targets and reach their full potential.

The class teacher remains responsible for each pupil's progress and works closely with the SEND team to plan and review any additional provision.

SEND Team

Our SEND team works in partnership with class teachers, TAs, families and external professionals to ensure support is carefully matched to need.

 Mrs Callaghan

As the SENDCos at St Margaret’s at Troy Town I am responsible for the operation of the Special Educational Needs and Disability Policy and co-ordination of specific provision made to support individual children with SEND. I work closely with teachers to monitor pupils' progress, evaluate the impact of support and refine provision where progress is not yet where we would expect it to be.  As well as support from Miss Dexter (Our Trust Lead SENDCo), I have contact with a wide range of external professionals such as educational psychologists, speech and language therapists and specialist advisory services. The full range of SENDCo responsibilities can be found in the 2015 SEND Code of Practice.

I endeavour to help children reach their full potential by helping overcome barriers to learning including; friendship difficulties; attendance, or self-esteem problems, through to family worries such as bereavement and relationship changes.
