SEN at Claremont
Claremont’s SEN vision is to provide facilities for a happy, safe, nurturing and inclusive environment where ALL children are supported, valued, inspired and challenged, so they may flourish to achieve their full potential irrespective of ability or behaviour.
Claremont school is committed to promote education and welfare of children through positive promotion of equality, challenging bullying and stereotypes. We aim to create an environment which champions respect for all. At all levels the School is an inclusive community - we believe that diversity is a strength, which
should be respected and celebrated by all those who learn, teach and visit here.
We are delighted to announce that to mark the 50th year of Claremont we have set up a sensory room and purchased additional supportive technology to benefit all the pupils at the school in acknowledgement and celebration of the hard work and dedication of the teachers and teaching partners over the years and their tireless commitment to Claremont's pupils.
factor in helping pupils with special educational needs make good progress alongside their peers. Quality first teaching draws on a repertoire of teaching strategies and techniques that are closely matched to the specified learning objectives and the particular needs of the children in the class. This, alongside the provision of relevant equipment and strategies, differentiation in the classroom and regular progress reviews all help pupils overcome some barriers to learning. Teachers will discuss concerns with the parent/carer if a pupil's progress is less than expected, or it is thought that a pupil might have specific barriers to learning.
The Special Educational Needs Code of Practice lies at the heart of our school’s SEND policy. It describes a graduated approach to supporting children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities. Where children need additional support, the school works closely with outside agencies to identify barriers to learning and access further support.
Mrs Clare Smith is the Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator (SENCo) at Claremont and the SEN Governor is Mrs Beccy Barr. If you have any concerns about your child, please talk to their class teacher in the first instance. The SENCo can be contacted on 01892 554690 or via email senco@claremont.kent.sch.uk
