Special Educational Needs Policy
Hollyfield School has an effective Special Educational Needs Policy which is kept under regular review. There is a Special Educational Needs Department headed by a Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator. There is also a nominated governor who monitors the work of this area.
Information is received from feeder primaries and together with early secondary assessment, provision is made within the resources available to meet individual needs. In accordance with the Code of Practice and school policy and procedures pupils’ needs are assessed, recorded and made available to all teaching staff.
Individual Education Plans are formulated for the identified pupils and subject staff are provided with the necessary information to enable them to modify their schemes of work and use appropriate teaching strategies.
The school uses a well proven and effective reading recovery scheme that enables those whose reading skills prevent them from being able to benefit from the full curriculum to build confidence, catch up and achieve their full potential.

Famous quotes containing the words special, educational and/or policy:
“Friendship is learned by watching and listening to you. If she sees that your friends are people you like and trust and don’t pretend with—people who suit you—she probably won’t pick friends who just pass by, or people who can help her or improve her status. If you treat friends in a special way, if you are kinder, more generous, more sympathetic, more forgiving with friends, she probably will be, too.”
—Stella Chess (20th century)
“If an educational act is to be efficacious, it will be only that one which tends to help toward the complete unfolding of life. To be thus helpful it is necessary rigorously to avoid the arrest of spontaneous movements and the imposition of arbitrary tasks.”
—Maria Montessori (1870–1952)
“If matrimony be really beneficial to society, the custom that ... married women alone are allowed any claim to place, is as useful a piece of policy as ever was invented.... The ridicule fixed on the appellation of old maid hath, I doubt not, frightened a very large number into the bonds of wedlock.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
