• The SENCO/Head has conducted meetings with the parents of 25 individual children plus  family support meetings for 10 individual children. This may have been a one-off meeting or  a regular meeting, such as for Early Help (every 6 weeks). Some parents have been seen  more frequently than this. 

Success in 2021-2022 

• SEN Governor continues in a supportive role 
• The SENCO attended the New2SENCO course with Inclusive Learning North, FIGS meeting  with SENCOs from schools in the Furness area and the Termly SEND Inclusion Forums with  Inclusive Learning North 
• The SENCO successfully applied for 2 new EHC Plans.  
• Strong links continue with local Health visitors, working collaboratively to support our  younger children 
• Use of CPOMS in school – all information is in one place and can be accessed easily by staff • Peer review of SEND provision with SENCOs from 2 local schools, Newbarns and Dane Ghyll • Orcina funding has supported SEN staffing this year 

Challenges 

• Time constraints – lots of meetings no time to work with children, how can this be  addressed? 
• Funding – We are still expected to fund first £6000 of EHC plan funding, funding for Ed Psych  involvement for this year was used by the 2 EHC plan referrals made last academic year. • SENCO resigned position mid-year. Headteacher acted as SENCO for remainder of the year
