SENDCo / SEND

Students with Special Educational Needs (SEN) at Meadow Park School will initially have their needs assessed by the Learning Support Team. 

The SENDCo Lead at Meadow Park School is Michelle Billyeald.

Learning Support

The team is committed to all students achieving their potential and having access to the support and enrichment which allows them to do this. We are able to offer a range of programmes to assist a variety of learning needs across all of the key stages. Assistance will vary depending on individual needs and can range from support during normal curriculum time to small group work and one to one support. The SEN Department works alongside the Inclusion Department to promote a holistic view when supporting students with learning, social and emotional difficulties.

The Learning Support Team is responsible for the day-to-day operation of the SEN policy. They co-ordinate support and provision for students with SEN/EHCP’s as well as provision for those who are identified as requiring further support.

The Learning Support Team offers a range of services and interventions such as:

• Specialist support from the Educational Psychologist Service
• Specialist support from Complex communication team (CCT)
• Specialist support from SALT (Speech and Language Therapy Service) and the Sensory Team
• Teaching Assistant support in classrooms
• Individual support (1-1 academic support/mentoring)
• Booster literacy and numeracy programmes
• A phonics-based literacy intervention
• ASD support groups
• Supported Homework club Interventions
• Supported Coursework club interventions
• KS4 English/Maths interventions
• Parent Support
• Staff and parent training and advice on SEND
• Support for EAL students
