  We have excellent specific SEN assessment processes at Short Wood:

  We undertake our own assessments, in some areas, to identify specific problems and then put in place provision to ensure the children make progress.

• We undertake our own Phonic and reading assessments and monitor progress and achievement. Provision is put in place based on the assessments to ensure children make progress.

• We undertake initial Speech and language assessments and provision is put in place based on the assessments , if necessary we may make a referral to Speech and Language.

The Provision map will detail:

• The teaching strategies/ resources to be used

• The provision to be put in place- frequency, staffing etc.

• When the plan is to be reviewed,

• The provision map will be reviewed every term and outcomes will be recorded.
