Dickens Heath Community Primary School

Enabling every child to be the best version of themselves

What types of SEND do we provide for?

We are proud to provide a welcoming and inclusive environment for neurodiverse children. We value the unique strengths and perspectives that neurodiverse learners bring to our school community. We aim to address children's needs and support their development in the most appropriate way possible and celebrate children's individual successes.

 

We recognise that for some children, progress — whether academic, social, or emotional — may slow or stop. When this happens, we provide carefully targeted support. If progress remains limited, we may identify the child as having a Special Educational Need (SEN), and they will begin working towards specific, personalised targets with clearly identified provision in place. Additional and/or different provision is currently being made in school for children with a range of needs, under the Four Broad Areas of Need, including: 

 

  • Cognition and learning - specific learning difficulties - dyslexia, dyspraxia, Downs Syndrome 
  • Sensory and physical - hearing impairment, visual impairment, sensory processing difficulties. 
  • Communication and interaction - autistic spectrum disorder, speech and language difficulties and disorder speech and language. 
  • Social, Emotional and Mental Health - attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, attachment disorder, anxiety disorders, tourette's syndrome
