Important Information

• Dyslexia friendly learning environments - clutter has been removed, classroom displays have been streamlined and labelling of resources has been adapted so they are accessible to all;

• Awareness of the needs of children with neurodivergence - a big focus has been on supporting children with dyslexia, ADHD and ASD and staff have undertaken training to support their identification and techniques to support;

• Parent interactions - all parents of children on the SEN register were invited to attend three PINS coffee mornings and these will continue next term;

• SEN parent What's-App group - in response to parent feedback, we have facilitated a parent/carer What's-App group for children with additional needs. This is parent-led and staff from TC are not involved, however it has proven invaluable to so many of our families in the early stages. Please contact the office if your child has additional needs and you wish to be added;

• Use of technology - we have incorporated an increased use of technology to support our learners, including speech-to-text software, Dictaphones, Immersive Reader and Microsoft Lens;

• Resources to support sensory needs - we have further added to our calm room and sensory circuits which both provide useful support to many of our learners. 

• Pastoral support in school - we are very fortunate to have Mrs Ratcliffe, our pastoral support lead, at TC. Many children work with her each week, either in individual sessions, as part of a small group or the soft start provision before school each day. Mrs Ratcliffe also supports children at break and lunch times.

Here is the link to the PINS parent carer survey which the PINS project leads would appreciate parents completing. This will also provide useful feedback as to how we are doing as a school and next steps for development.
