SEN Information Report

Under the Children and Families Act (CFA) 2014 Section 69 schools must publish a SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) information report. The purpose of which is to provide information to our current and prospective parents, the Local Authority and Government agencies. This report will be updated at least annually. The required information is set out in the SEN (Special Educational Needs) Code of Practice 0 ‐25 Years

Christchurch Junior School is a mainstream setting where children come first. We aim to provide the best possible education for every child within a warm and caring ethos. We are committed to ensuring equality of education and opportunity for all pupils. We believe that all pupils are entitled to a broad, balanced and relevant curriculum that can be adapted to meet any specific need.  We provide “high quality teaching” to allow all children to reach their potential.  However, at times a child may require additional support beyond this practice.

We provide support for a range of needs as specified in the 2014 SEND Code of Practice. 

These needs can be within one of these four main areas:

  • Communication and Interaction 
  • Cognition and Learning
  • Social, Emotional and Mental Health Difficulties
  • Sensory and Physical Needs.

At Christchurch Junior School, we embrace the fact that every child is different as are their educational needs; this is certainly the case for children with Special Educational Needs.

If you have any concerns regarding support in school, your child’s progress or well-being, then please speak to either your child’s class teacher or Mrs. Fiona Utley (SENDCo and Inclusion Leader) to discuss your concerns.
