Inclusion
At
Gateway we endeavour to support every child’s individual needs to
enable them to achieve their full potential.
Special Educational Needs
We try
to identify those children who may need additional help as early as we
can. The school SENCO (Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator) leads
regular reviews of all the children in our care. For those children
identified as having special educational needs we have a comprehensive
programme of support. Parents are involved at each stage of the
process and are very important partners in this work.
From
time to time support will involve outside agencies such as:
-
School
Nurse
-
Speech
therapist
-
Educational Psychologist
-
Behaviour Support Team
Gifted and Talented
As part
of the special educational needs reviews we also try to identify those
children who are either exceptionally gifted academically or talented
in a particular area such as sport or music. We try to provide
additional support and challenges for these children to extend their
development. Again, parents are informed as part of the process.
EAL
The
great majority of children at Gateway have English as an additional
language. Consequently language development is central to all we do
and an inherent part of our curriculum. All our teachers are used to
develop fluency in English.
Resources to support this work, developed at the school, are widely
used across the Authority
