SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS
At Cherry Orchard Primary School it is our philosophy to develop and maximize the full potential of every individual. The 2014 S.E.N.D Code of Practice devised a model of action and intervention in schools to support children identified as having a special educational need. This model is referred to as ‘The Graduated Approach’ that has a four part cycle of ‘Plan-Revisit- Refine-Revise. We aim for all children to have access to a broad and balanced education.
In many cases we are able to meet the children’s needs within school. If it is felt that further advice and guidance is needed from an outside agency then this would be highlighted as part of the termly review. These outside agencies will then provide advice and resources as appropriate to the child’s needs and will aid the writing of the Individual Provision Plan or Pupil profile. A full copy of the SEN policy is available on request.
What is sex and relationship education?
Sex and relationship education (SRE) is lifelong learning about physical, moral and emotional development. At Cherry Orchard SRE is planned as part of Personal, Social Health and Citizenship Education (PSHCE) and the healthy school agenda. Many aspects are also covered within the Science curriculum.
SRE is learning about our bodies, health and relationships. Learning is built up year-by-year in a way that is appropriate to the age and maturity of the pupils; responds to the needs they have, and enables them to successfully manage the challenges they face as they grow up.
SRE teaches children to develop values and attitudes, and learn personal and social skills, and increase their knowledge and understanding to enable them to make informed decisions and healthier life choices. SRE makes an important contribution to safeguarding children.
