Special Educational Needs & Disability (SEND)
At Broadgreen Primary School, we consider those children with special educational needs, additional needs and disabilities to be entitled to the same high-quality level of provision as all pupils. Inclusive practice runs deep within the school and, as such, the below information provided outlines the philosophy and vision of the school.

Interventions @ BGP
Our pupil’s educational needs will change throughout their time here at Broadgreen Primary School. In most cases, quality first teaching by the child’s class teacher and class Learning Support Assistant will meet most needs. Some children will require extra support in the form of small group work, one-to-one tuition, precision teaching techniques or other forms of specialised teaching approaches. Occasionally, external agencies will be brought in to offer specialised teaching support or training for staff.
Within Broadgreen Primary School, additional support is offered after staff discussions with the Headteacher through termly pupil progress meetings. Where a child needs further support, extra intervention groups are offered to support the pupil in question. Specialised intervention sessions in all areas of the core curriculum ensure that pupils have their additional needs met.
Supporting the children with pastoral care and social issues is Ms Sophie Leyshon, Pastoral Support Officer, who works with all year groups and has a wide remit in ensuring that all aspects of our pupils’ safety and welfare, including attendance, is met. Please note that during Covid restrictions this may be subject to change.
Below, you will find links to all major policies and documents that support pupils with additional needs.
Broadgreen Primary School also works in cooperation with a number of other schools in the East 3 Consortium where skills and resources are shared, ensuring that a breadth of knowledge and collaborative practices are employed.

COVID 19 updates
YPAS have been working with LivPac and parents to put together a page specifically with resources for SEND parents, this includes two personal blogs from parents about life during lockdown which hopefully you will find uplifting, like the first parent blog it shows how our parents are coping during these times using humour, warmth, technology and embracing community for support.
The resources included in this page can be used by both parents and professionals and it has a number of different focus areas all in alphabetical order which should prove easy to use for both.
