How we adapt the curriculum and learning environment for children & young people with SEN

We adapt the curriculum and learning environment for pupils with SEN:

• we use an assess, plan, do, review cycle;
• we use either a short note, support plan or EHCP to ensure the curriculum and learning environment meets the needs of the child;
• we use advice and targets from other professionals to inform our planning and delivery and resources;
• we focus on a holistic approach nurturing life skills were possible;
• we continually update our knowledge through CPD to ensure the best possible provision for our children.
• We make the following adaptations to ensure all pupils’ needs are met:-Differentiating our curriculum to ensure all pupils are able to access it, for example, by grouping, 1:1 work, teaching style, content of the lesson, etc.
• Adapting our resources and staffing
• Using recommended aids, such as laptops, coloured overlays, visual timetables, larger font, etc.
• Differentiating our teaching, for example, giving longer processing times, pre-teaching of key vocabulary, reading instructions aloud, etc.
