Additional Help
As discussed in other sections Durham Federation provide a lot of support for students to succeed within school. However, there will be times when new concerns arise. As a result we encourage you to contact Mrs L Smith the SENCO to enable us to target the appropriate interventions that are required.
Identifying students with SEND
We take information from a range of sources when establishing if a child has specific SEND needs. These sources include:
- Primary Schools
- Standardised tests, (including literacy/numeracy tests, ‘value added’ measures reading age test and SATs results)
- Individual teachers and departments
- Parents
- Pupils themselves
- Outside Agencies
- In-College monitoring
- MET team
- SEND Team
If you would like to discuss your SEND requirements in detail please contact Sacriston or Ushaw Moor to arrange an appointment with our SENCO Mrs L. Smith
