At Church Langton we pride ourselves on our inclusive and nurturing provision. Our aim is to ensure that all pupils needs are met so that each individual can reach their full potential. Our SEND coordinator is Mrs Jenny Eshelby (jeshelby@clp.learnat.uk), who works at Church Langton school every Thursday.

Our inclusive teaching and curriculum, alongside a dedicated staff team, help us to support and include pupils with a wide variety of needs. To find out more about how we support all of our pupils needs, including those with Special Educational Needs and disabilities, please click to download our SEND report: Church Langton SEND information report.

Transition

We recognise that transitions can be difficult for a child with SEND and take steps to ensure that any transition is as smooth as possible.

How we will support children with SEND when they are moving on to another class or leaving this school:

We have effective transition arrangements in place for children at all stages of their time with us.

The transition from our nursery feeder schools/ providers begins with a meeting for parents/carers to set out the procedures and expectations for their child’s time in our school. Parents/carers are also informed of all the ways their child can be supported during their time with us. Staff visit children in their nurseries to see them in a familiar environment. Children then visit our school.

Transition sessions, for all year groups, towards the end of the summer term prove successful every year across the school.

We have strong and successful links with the local secondary schools in our area. The staff from these schools work in our school at different times of the year.

Our school has a member of staff with responsibility for organising and planning transition and induction into schools. Where children with SEND are moving to new provision, we will work closely with the receiving school to ensure their needs continue to be met both during induction and into the future. Where there are more vulnerable children moving to different schools, meetings are held between their class teacher/SENCO and the academic and pastoral team of the receiving school to ensure provision for their needs is known and continues.

If you would like to discuss your SEND requirements in detail, please contact the school to arrange an appointment.
