At Layton we are aware that all children have different learning needs, and some children may have additional needs which if we do not meet, can present a barrier to learning.  We recognise that any child at any stage in their school career could have a special education need.  We will carry out detailed observations and assessments to ensure the correct level of support following the graduated approach, is implemented at the right time. 

The purpose of the SEND policy, and School Information Report, is to describe the variety of ways in which we are able to support and meet the needs of children who have additional needs and/or experience barriers to their learning.

Children on the SEND register will have Individual Learning Plans (ILPs) written by the class teacher with support from the SENDCo, and these will be reviewed and discussed with parents termly.

Our Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator is Miss Owen.  If you have concerns about your child having additional needs, please contact her by phone via the school office, or direct by emailing Send@Layton.blackpool.sch.uk

We work collaboratively with a range of external agencies, including Blackpool Council to ensure our families of children with special educational needs or disabilities (SEND) are being fully supported.
