Reviews

If your child in on the SEN register, they will have either a support plan, MyPlan or EHCP. These consist of outcomes that are specific to the child and are broken down into manageable steps to make progress. The plans are reviewed 3 times a year. It is important that parents or carers attend these review meetings as it is their opportunity to contribute ideas, thoughts and feelings towards their child’s educational provision.

Support plans will be reviewed in Autumn 1 (during parents evening), Spring 1 (during parents evening) and Summer 1 (in an arranged meeting time).

MyPlans or EHCPs will be reviewed in Autumn 2, Spring 2 and Summer 2.

If you have any questions or concerns about the special educational needs provision for your child at Mansel Primary, please contact our school SENDCo (Mrs Danielle Hobman). Any complaints relating to special educational needs provision at Mansel Primary in the first instance, should be directed to our SENDCo (Mrs Danielle Hobman) and will be dealt with in line with our school complaints policy.
