Learners will be identified upon transition through information gathered from parents/carers and primary schools.

Throughout pupils time at Co-op Academy Belle Vue, we will monitor their social and academic progress through testing, teacher observations and parental concerns. If any additional needs are suspected or identified, appropriate provisions and/or referrals will be put into place to ensure the correct support is put in place at the right time.

At Co-op academy Belle Vue, we are developing our provision in line with the needs of our cohort. We believe in developing a flexible, evidence led program of interventions that changes and expands with the needs of the children it is focused on supporting.

We will ensure that we have a variety of interventions that focus on developing core skills within the four broad areas of need. We also will utilise external specialised services to help us identify the particular interventions that each learner needs.

Every teacher with Co-op Academy Belle Vue is a teacher of SEND and all are aware that they are accountable, alongside the SENDCo, for the attainment and progress of our most vulnerable learners.

Information identifying the SEND needs of each child is available to each teacher. Specific information to each learner is available on pupil passports which are shared directly with the classroom staff through our Class Charts program.

SEND training is a core part of our CPD offer which is mandatory for all staff to attend.

All learners are able to attend the extra-curricular sessions available at Co-op Academy Belle Vue. It is important to us that all children feel part of our school community and are able to experience all the opportunities afforded to us by our community links.
