At Tatsfield Primary School we offer high Quality First teaching.  Additional interventions are defined through our annual dialogue across the school contributing to our provision management approach. These documents help us to regularly review and record what we offer EVERY child or young person in our care and what we offer additionally.  These discussions also serve to embed our high expectations amongst staff about quality first teaching and the application of a differentiated and personalised approach to teaching and learning. We make it a point to discuss aspirations with ALL our learners. All teachers are responsible for every child in their care, including those with special educational needs. More information can be found in our Quality First Teaching Strategies document. 

All our teachers are clear on the expectations of high quality classroom teaching and this is monitored regularly by the leadership team. Children are assessed regularly and lessons are taught in a way that allows all children to access the curriculum and to progress with their learning. This could be through variation in lesson content and tasks or through the resources being used to support the children’s learning. 

If there are concerns that a child might not be able to access a part of the curriculum this will be discussed in a meeting with parents, class teacher, Special Educational Needs and or Disabilities Co-ordinator (SENDCo) and Headteacher. 

The Waves of Provision Map outlines the ways we support every child to learn and reach their potential. For some children, support at Wave 1, through Quality First Teaching, does help to accelerate their progress to enable them to work at or above age-related expectations. In some circumstances we might need to move into Wave 2 and 3 which involves increasing the level and range of support for children,  More information can be found in our Tatsfield Waves of Provision Map.

Tatsfield Primary School follows the Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) code of practice when identifying needs, utilising the ‘asses, plan, do, review’ cycle to ensure all needs are met effectively and that appropriate support is sought including from outside agencies where necessary. This is done in collaboration with parents/carers and children. You can read more about the principles and policies which underpin our practice in our latest SEND Information Report:
