What is a SEND Register?

This is a list of all the pupils in the school and class who have special educational needs (SEN) and/or a disability.  This makes it easier for the SENCo and staff to monitor those pupils who need extra help.

Why is my child on the SEND Register?

Any pupil on the SEND register has been identified as having a special educational need and/or disability.  Extra help will be given to these pupils to help them to make progress.

What does this mean for my child?

If your child is placed on the SEND Register, then they will start to receive extra help.  This will be set out on a Individual Support Plan so that you can see what help your child is receiving and how often.

Will my child always be on the SEND Register?

This can vary.  Some pupils with significant needs will always be on the SEND Register because they will always need help.  Other pupils may only need help for a short amount of time and if they no longer need any help, then they will be removed from the SEND Register in discussion with parents/carers.
