Miss Briony Lea is our Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator here at Ewelme. 

We recognise that every child has individual educational needs. Every teacher is a teacher of Special Needs. All children are assessed regularly to ensure that they are making expected progress in their learning. Where a concern is raised, teachers will talk with parents and our Special Needs Coordinator in order to plan the most appropriate way forward for a child. This might include extra support or a programme of planned intervention delivered during school time in the classroom. Occasionally, the help of local authority specialists may be sought in order to supplement the school’s provision. A child may be placed on the Special Needs Register and have an agreed plan of targets to meet, called a Pupil Profile, which is designed especially for them. Once support has been effective, a child may no longer need to remain on the register.
