At St Ann's Heath Junior School all pupils, regardless of their particular individual needs, are provided with inclusive teaching which will enable them to make the best possible progress in school and ensure that they feel that they are a valued member of the wider school community.

Children sometimes require additional support to meet their needs or improve their academic outcomes. The decision to put this in place is made by the school and is based on a variety of factors including attainment, progress and additional assessments carried out by the teaching staff or other professionals.  

Class teachers are responsible for the learning of all the children in their class and the universal offer of 'Quality First Teaching'. This includes adaptations, support and personalisation for all children as they need it.  Strategies may include:

• Scaffolding
• Flexible grouping
• Cognitive and metacognitive strategies
• Use of technology
• Explicit instruction
• Personalised elements of the curriculum

Underpinning all decisions about support is the wish that children leaving us in year 6 are as self-reliant and independent as possible. Our whole school SEND provision is overseen and co-ordinated by our Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator (SENCo), Hannah Pannett.
