What Our Families Say About SEND Provision at All Saints
In November 2023, we asked families with children on the SEND Register for feedback on their children's provision at All Saints Interchurch Academy. Here are some of the comments made.
"The SENDCo and class teachers are very approachable, patient and pro-active. They are very positive and keen to provide our son with the best education. Our son has become more confident and talkative under their guidance. We also receive excellent practical advice on what we can do at home to support our son's learning at school."
"I think the communication between the SENDCo and home cannot be bettered. Mrs Johnson emails us, approaches us in the playground or picks up the phone proactively with new ideas."
"We feel that the support being received by the school is outstanding. We recognise that the school has gone above and beyond to provide extra support, and that this extra support has made a huge difference for [our son]."
"Your professionalism has given us faith that we are being listened to as parents, that our children are now well on the way to getting the support they need, and that you genuinely want to help."
"I find communication between School teachers/SENDCo and home is very fluent and school is very approachable. Meetings are scheduled regularly and plans are set and regularly reviewed. All Saints School has changed my son's life in such a positive way, his experience in a previous setting wasn't great and he was missed, at All Saints he is cared for and recognised and all teachers involved in his daily care manage him very well. I feel I can approach my son's teacher anytime with any concerns or information I feel she may need to know and I always get a response - great communication."
"Communication is always clear and efficient and both teacher and SENDCo and very approachable to discuss anything I may need to. [My child] is getting extra support in school with phonics and I have been shown the program being followed. Thank you for all support!"
"It makes life so much easier having the right support!"
Information and Resources for Parents and Carers
At All Saints Interchurch Academy, we understand that navigating the world of Special Educational Needs and Disabilities can be daunting. What is an APDR? Why has my child got one? Why are school staff talking about an EHCP, and what does this mean for my child? We hope that the videos and links below will help to answer any questions you may have. If not, please do contact either your child's class teacher or Mrs Johnson so that we can help.
