Special Educational Needs (SEN)

At Forefield Junior School, we promote a highly inclusive, supportive environment where each of our students can flourish and progress, academically, personally and socially.

Students may need extra support due to a variety of reasons and our aim is to help to remove any barriers to a student’s learning and provide them with the support they need during their time with us. We are dedicated to ensuring that students are supported in an inclusive way through a range of provisions which enable them to achieve the best possible outcomes and be as independent as possible before they move on to high school.

We provide support for pupils across the four areas of need as laid out in the SEND Code of Practice 2014:

· Communication and interaction

· Social, emotional and mental health difficulties

· Sensory and/or physical needs

· Cognition and learning.

Our SENCO is Mrs Helen Barton

Y2 - Y3 Transition

We work hard to ensure that transition from Key Stage 1 to Key stage 2 is as smooth as possible. Click here for an overview of the strategies we use to ensure that by the last day of the summer term children will be looking forward with confidence towards September and a new start at the Juniors.
