NASEN SEND Review 
In our experience, the best way to assess the development needs at a whole-school level is to complete a one-day SEND review lead by a SEN specialist senior leader and assisted by a senior teacher.  This allows an in-depth analysis of the following areas in collaboration with school leaders and SENCO:

• Outcomes
• Leadership
• The quality of teaching and learning for
• Pupils with SEND
• Working with pupils and parents
• Assessment and identification
• Monitoring, tracking and evaluation
• Efficient use of resources
• The quality of SEND provision

 

Pupil Referral
If a setting would like support with a specific pupil, a referral can be made. In discussion with the class teacher and SENCO, a specialist teacher will be assigned to provide advice, asses training needs and assist in the writing of a SEN support plan. A follow-up meeting 4-6 weeks later will identify if further support is needed.
