Learning Support Pupils with Special Educational Needs The school is committed to identifying the needs of the individual and to taking appropriate action to help the pupil to achieve their full potential. The Learning Support Faculty provides diagnostic and support systems for those with learning difficulties, physical and sensory disabilities or communication difficulties. In conjunction with the pastoral system, support is provided for those with social, emotional and behavioural problems. Support may also be available from a range of outside agencies including Educational Psychology, the School Nurse, the Educational Welfare Service and Social Services. Strategies that may be adopted to help pupil progress are withdrawal for individual help or work in a small group and in-class support. This support meets statutory requirements and operates within the framework of The Code of Practice. Additional individual support is provided for pupils with a statement of Special Educational Needs. Referral Process Pupils that are already placed on ‘school action’ or ‘school action plus’ of the DCFS Code of Practice at their primary school will automatically transfer to our faculty’s Special educational Needs register. Referrals for the new cohort can be made when parents/carers express concerns to the Head of Learning Support Faculty, Mrs Childs, at one of the familiarisation sessions during the Summer term prior to entry. Chichester High school for Girls operates a regular screening process which is an early warning system to identify pupils with learning difficulties, emotional and behavioural problems or emerging attendance concerns. Staff, parents/carers or pupils may ask for a referral at any time. Review and progress Pupils identified with Special Educational Needs may have an Individual Education Plan (IEP) or an Individual Provision plan (IPP). The IEP and the IPP are reviewed at least twice a year. Parents/carers are informed of their daughter’s progress through these reviews. The help, support and input of parents/carers are much valued.
