St Stephens (Saltash) Community Primary School
Services and organisations that have the Local Offer flash have filled out inclusion information, meaning that they meet the needs of people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)

At St Stephens, we are passionate about providing an engaging and creative education which strives for excellence. We believe our motto encapsulates what we believe, ‘Excellence is in Everyone.’ As a school, we recognise every child has a talent and that we are all different. We view every child as an individual who deserves the best possible education so they can achieve excellence.

Our beautiful grounds and excellent resources allow children to be active and enables us to deliver our thematic learning opportunities in a way that appeals to all.  Our approach to a broad and balanced curriculum immerses pupils in deep learning experiences to ensure enthusiasm and engagement.  We are also passionate that every child is valued and nurtured, so they really can show their excellence.

We are always trying to improve what we offer your children and welcome parents' views and ideas as education is best when it is part of an effective partnership between parents and school staff.

How we make our service inclusive

St Stephens is an inclusive school.  We believe all children should have equal access to learning opportunities and strive to make all appropriate adaptations to ensure this happens.

Many children have difficulties that may prevent them from accessing our services.   

Many disabled children also have Special Educational Needs. Our school ensures that it makes reasonable adjustments to ensure that disabled children are not at a substantial disadvantage compared to their peers.

Staff SEND experience
  • We have a good staff to pupil ratio and use our staff effectively to provide children with access to the curriculum at a level which is appropriate to their age and stage to ensure progress. We do this through careful planning and ongoing review triangulated in a number of ways: Class personalisation plans, termly class SENDCO visits, termly meetings between SENDCO, parents, child and teachers and high expectations of all staff, supported through a robust INSET and training programme.

  • The school has a 0.8 SENDCO who works Monday-Thursday

  • We employ a Parent Support Adviser (PSA) 
  • We have practitioners trained in Headstart, Funfit,  ELKLAN, ASD, ECAR and in a range of other areas. We also have staff trained in paediatric first aid
  • Training is ongoing as need is identified in the school
  • There is a range of experience across the staff in behaviour management. strategies, as well as English and Maths expertise.
How our service supports providers / schools / colleges

Parents of any child who is on the RoN at SEN support or with an EHCP will be invited to a termly meeting with the class teacher and SENDCO.  In the autumn and summer terms, these will be conducted across the term. In the spring they will be part of the parents’ evening consultations, with the SENDCO being invited as needed. These meetings will focus on setting and reviewing key targets for the child to achieve through a cycle of ‘assess, plan, do, review’ (APDR).  During this meeting the child’s voice will be considered, where appropriate with them in attendance.

If after advice from the EP or other professionals, the school and parents consider that help is needed from outside the school‛s resources the SENDCO will work together with all stakeholders to prepare all necessary documentation to apply for a plan. This is sent to the Assessment Panel where, in consideration with similar documents from other involved professionals, a decision is made whether or not to issue an Educational Health Care plan.

Support at key transition points

When children transition into the school or nursery at the start of their academic career there is a robust policy of home visits, stay and play days, handover between professionals, parent meetings and other activities.  For children already diagnosed with SEND, this will also include meetings between the SENDCO, head of EYFS, area SENDCO and, where appropriate, SENDCO from nursery settings.

When children on the RoN transfer to Secondary school the SENDCO and the Year 6 teachers aim to meet with the SENDCO of that school. All relevant SEN information is passed on to the receiving school.

When a child transfers to another Primary school the SEN profiles and child protection concerns are passed on.  The SENDCO will make contact with the SENDCO of that school if further information is needed.
