What is the Graduated Approach?

​If we suspect a child may have Special Educational Needs, we take actions to remove the pupil’s barriers to learning. We put in place educational provision through the use of the Graduated Approach. ​

The Anglian Learning Graduated Approach identifies different levels of support for pupils. ​

For all – Inclusive Classrooms​
​“Ordinarily available provision” strategies and resources that any child may access. We provide this through our offer of high quality teaching.​

​For some – Interventions and extra support ​
​Children may access targeted support to address barriers to learning and specific difficulties. This may include extra adult support in class, small group or 1:1 interventions. If a child has been receiving support but is still experiencing difficulties, we may add them onto our school’s SEND register. ​

​For few – Personalised support, EHC plans, Alternative provision​
​If children experience a more complex/sustained level of need, school may seek extra support. We may apply for an an Education Health and Care Plan (EHCP) to provide more indiviualised and personalised support.​

Pupil profile​

If your child is a member of our school’s SEND register, they will be supported through cycles of Assess, Plan, Do, Review (APDR).

​At the Meadow, we track this through our Pupil Profile documents. These documents are made and reviewed termly with your child. It will reflect your child’s strengths; strategies and interventions we use to support them; current targets they are working on in class. These documents will be shared with parents/carers so you are aware of how they are being supported. ​

​Where children have a higher level of need, we invite parents/carers to a termly meeting. In this meeting we discuss progress and agree on targets for the next term (Communication Passport meetings). ​
