Special Educational Needs (SEN) The term SEN is used to describe learning challenges or disabilities that make it significantly harder for pupils to learn or access education than most others of the same age. SEN children may have challenges with schoolwork, communication and/or behaviour, and may need some extra help and individualised support. SEN Provision at Austin School Austin School is an inclusive school aiming to maximise students’ learning potential and motivation as well as self-actualisation. This is achieved by delivering effective and appropriate individualised programmes and teaching strategies which address every learner unique needs in a safe, positive, stimulating yet challenging learning environment. The Special Education Team (SET) works collaboratively with teaching staff to design and deliver IEPs (Individual Educational Plans) and ILPs (Individual Learning Plans) as well as Positive Behaviour Support Plans (PBSPs) according to the students’ capabilities, needs and learning styles, in order to improve their academic achievement, language and other developmental skills. SEN specialists also offer training and workshops for teaching staff on areas of SEN. The SET builds collaborative partnerships with all stakeholders, including regularly updating student progress with parents and liaising with other professionals from external agencies for assessment and service referral. |
