when a child is performing at a level below that expected for their
age

esteem and confidence compared to other children
• Concerns may be raised by parents

class teacher initially

and/or Headteacher as required

What support is available for a child with SEND at
Bawdsey CEVCP school?
• Staff Skills
Every class teacher is responsible for differentiating learning tasks and activities to make them
appropriate for all the children in their class.
Mrs Feakes is the designated SENCo, with 9 years experience. She has attended training in
dyslexia, behaviour issues, autism and speech and language issues.
There are four teaching assistants working at Bawdsey school who are all experienced at working
with children with special needs, either individually or in small groups. Two of our teaching
assistants have completed Elkan training.
• Resources

helped by accessing a 10-minute intervention once a day. We use Booster Phonics,
