Haydn Primary School’s  approach to supporting children with SEND

 We are committed to providing, for each pupil, the best possible provision and environment for learning. We aim to provide Special Educational provision within an adapted curriculum that meets the needs of all children.  We believe that all children, including those identified as having special educational needs have a common entitlement to a broad and balanced academic and social curriculum which is accessible, and to be fully included in all aspects of school life.

We believe that all children should be equally valued in school. We strive to eliminate prejudice and discrimination, and to develop an environment where all children can flourish, feel safe and achieve. 

Our SEND and Inclusion Lead is Mrs Amanda Evans

Our SEND Governor is Andrea Snelling

Working Together

We work closely as a team at Haydn. Building positive relationships and working in partnership with parents is key. Parents are invited in termly to discuss their child’s progress and provision map.

We work alongside outside agencies to provide a specialist approach to your child’s learning and needs including:

• The autism team including transition support
• Behaviour Support Team 
• Educational psychologist 
• Learning support team
• Speech and language support
• Child and adolescent mental health service 
• Physiotherapy 
• Behaviour and Emotional Health Team
• Sensory team (audio and visual)
• School nurse

Haydn SEND Coffee Afternoons for parents

SEND COFFEE AFTERNOONS AT HAYDN

I am very pleased to be able to invite you a selection of SEND Coffee Afternoons. These will be an opportunity for parents of children who are supported for their educational needs attending our school to meet one another, share experiences and ask questions.

There will be hot/cold drinks, cakes and biscuits; as well as the chance to get together in a relaxed and friendly setting, where you can have a chat about how your child is supported and maybe make some new friends along the way.

I have invited some key professionals to join each coffee morning as guest speakers to allow you find out more about their service, ask questions and collect some hints and tips which may help. Here are the dates of the first two coffee afternoons and who will be attending. There will be further dates and professionals later in the year.

Tuesday 27th February 2-3pm

To be attended by Dawn Clarke – Autism Team

Wednesday 27th March 2-3pm

To be attended by Becky Drew – Educational Psychologist

If you think that you would like to join us, please could you send an email to me at senco@haydn.nottingham.sch.uk so I know how many to expect and how many cakes to buy!

Thank you for your support, I hope to see as many of you as possible.
