At Crosshall Junior School we are committed to meeting your child’s needs, whatever their ability. All teachers plan, set and mark work, which is appropriate and relevant to the individual needs of the child. The school works with parents, pupils, the LEA or other relevant agencies to ensure that every child whatever his or her needs or ability reaches his or her potential. This includes children with physical difficulties, learning difficulties and also those with special aptitudes.

Our policy for special needs is in line with the Code of Practice published by the Department for Education and Employment and we take particular care in identifying children in need of specific teaching and learning support.

Following consultation with parents, the class teacher and the SEN Co-ordinator, an Individual Education Programme (IEP) is drawn up. This IEP will generally ensure that the child's needs are catered for in the class. Children with special individual needs are monitored by the class teacher and by a team of Teaching Assistants. IEPs are reviewed regularly to monitor progress.
