Special Educational Needs

Our Vision

All children and young people at Bromet School with SEND have access to high quality educational and pastoral provision that meets their needs.

At Bromet Primary we strive to support all children to enable them to reach their potential. Our aim is to support the needs of every child and our inclusive approach requires careful, adapted planning by the class teacher to ensure that all children access the curriculum effectively. Every teacher is a teacher of every child or young person, including those with SEND.

A pupil has special educational needs if he or she has a learning difficulty that calls for special educational provision to be made for him or her. This may mean that a pupil has a significantly greater difficulty in learning than the majority of pupils of the same age, or a disability that makes it hard for them to access facilities within the school. Special educational provision means provision that is additional to or otherwise different from that which is made generally for pupils of the same age in other schools maintained by the LEA (Education Act 1996).

Provision for pupils with SEND is a matter for the school as a whole. It is each teacher’s responsibility to provide for pupils with SEND in their class and to be aware that these needs may be present in different learning situations.

Every child on the SEND register has a SEND Support Plan. This outlines desired outcomes, type of provision, time and staffing. These are shared with parents and carers three times per year. Parents' and children's views are also gathered as part of the process of writing the plan

Bromet Primary School supports Special educational Neesd and Disabilities (SEND) through a process of Assess, Plan, Do, Review (pg 86-87) and by using Quality first teaching to adapt learning to meet individual needs of learners. The school identifies the main area of need for each child and works with parents to determine the next steps, promoting an inclusive culture where all pupils feel they belong.

What is Delivering Special Provision Locally (DSPL)?

DSPL is a Hertfordshire-wide partnership approach where parents, staff in early years settings and schools, further education colleges, local authority officers and representatives from other agencies, work together as part of an Area Group, reviewing and developing the range of provision and support services available to their local community that :

• Meets the needs of children and young people with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), aged 0-25, as close to home as possible.
• Improves outcomes for wellbeing and attainment
• Widens choice for children and parents/carers
• Removes barriers to learning
• Uses resources more effectively

DSPL9 offers support for both schools and families. Useful information and guidance can be found at:

All Hertfordshire Local Authority (LA) maintained schools have a similar approach to meeting the needs of pupils with Special Educational Needs and are supported by the LA to ensure that all pupils, regardless of their specific needs, make the best possible progress in school.

All schools are supported to be as inclusive as possible, with the needs of pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities being met in a mainstream setting wherever possible.

The four broad ‘areas of need’ are Communication and Interaction, Cognition and Learning, Social, Emotional and Mental Health Difficulties, and Sensory and Physical Needs.
