Additional Needs (SEND)

Supporting Children with Additional Needs

In our school children with SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disability) are included with all children under the term children with additional needs.  Children with additional needs includes all children who, for whatever reason, need additional support or guidance to help them on their learning journey.  These children might be children with SEND but they also include children who are Gifted and Talented or those children who, for whatever reason, are not on track (whatever their starting point) to make good progress.

Our Additional Needs Lead Teacher in school is Miss Melanie Rose and she can be contacted via the school office (01625 704 510 or admin@aecps.org) or via email at senco@aecps.org

All Schools are expected to publish their Local Offer - please see below for our most recent copy of the Local Offer here at AECPS.

Governing Body

The School's Governing Body robustly challenge the support offered to children with SEND to ensure outcomes are of the highest order.  As part of their processes the SENDCo reports to the the Teaching and Learning Committee at each of their meetings as well as meeting the designated governor for SEND on a regular basis.

Cheshire East Information Advice and Support  (formerly The Parent Partnership Service)

Cheshire East Information Advice and Support (CEIAS) helps parents and carers whose children have special educational needs, from pre-school age until they leave school.

They support parents across Cheshire East. If you or your child's teacher think there may be a special educational need, they may be able to help.

Many children have difficulties learning at some stage of their school life and parents need information to help them make decisions about their child's education. Parent Partnership can explain how the education system works and how pre-schools, schools and local authorities aim to meet special educational needs.
