Special Educational Needs (SEND)
SEND代表 Special Educational Needs and Disabilities. This can affect a child's ability to learn and at Camp Hill, 和所有学校一样, we are keen to ensure that any additional need a pupil may have do not have a negative impact on their education. Whilst we have pupils with a range of additional needs at Camp Hill, the most prevalent is Autistic Spectrum Disorder. We are able to cater for these needs by making reasonable adjustments to our teaching and learning and the outcomes for these pupils over time have been very positive.
Below you will find a range of resources that may be helpful if your child has a special educational need or disability, or if you suspect they might. 如果你有顾虑, please contact the 原理图ool and speak, in the first instance to Mrs Stella Morris (Assistant SENDCO) for advice.
The SEND Code of Practice is a comprehensive guide for 原理图ools and other organisations working with young people. It identifies four broad areas of need:
1. Communication and interaction
Where children and young people have speech, language and communication difficulties which make it difficult for them to make sense of language or to understand how to communicate effectively and appropriately with others.
Children and young people with an Autistic Spectrum Disorder, including Asperger’s Syndrome, are likely to have particular difficulties with social interaction.
2. 认知与学习
Where children and young people learn at a slower pace than others their age, they may:
-
have difficulty in understanding parts of the curriculum
-
have difficulties with organisation and memory skills
-
have a specific difficulty affecting one particular part of their learning such as in literacy or numeracy
The term ‘learning difficulties’ covers a wide range of needs, including moderate learning difficulties (MLD), severe learning difficulties (SLD) and profound and multiple difficulties (PMLD). Specific learning difficulties (SpLD) such as dyslexia, dyspraxia and dyscalculia come under this term.
3. Social, emotional and mental health difficulties
Children and young people may experience a wide range of social and emotional difficulties which present themselves in many ways. 他们可能会:
-
have difficulty in managing their relationships with other people

-
behave in ways that may hinder their and other children’s learning or that have an impact on their health and wellbeing
This broad area includes attention deficit disorder (ADD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or attachment disorder. It also includes behaviours that may reflect underlying mental health difficulties such as anxiety, 抑郁症, self-harming and eating disorders.
4. Sensory and/or physical needs
Where children and young people have visual and/or hearing impairments, or a physical need that means they must have additional on-going support and equipment.
