How is extra support allocated to children with SEND?

•The school budget, received from Richmond Local Authority, includes money for supporting children with SEND. This is known as ‘notional SEN funding’.

•The Governors, in consultation with the Leadership Team, agree on the allocated budget for Special Educational Needs, based on needs in the school.

•The Head Teacher and SENDCOs discuss all the information they have about SEND in the school, including:

• The children getting extra support already.
• The children needing extra support.
• The children who have been identified as not making as much progress as would be expected.
• The Head Teacher and SENDCOs decide what resources, training and support is needed via a Provision Map.

•All resources, training and support are reviewed termly by the Head Teacher and SENDCOs and changes made as needed.
