This summer term on the Isle of Wight, a small number of schools, including St. George’s, will be using the Valuing SEND tool and approach to help ensure that children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) are supported and in the right ways. This will be a pilot and will be evaluated ahead of the next academic year.
The Valuing SEND tool and approach has been co-developed by local authorities, parent carers and professionals, in partnership with IMPOWER, an organisation specialising in the public sector and SEND.
The tool will be used for a small number of children and young people initially, whose parent carers will be contacted separately, but all parent carers are invited to come along to find out more about the tool.
There will be two identical sessions to choose from. You do not have to attend one of these sessions, but it will be a good place to ask questions if you want to understand more. You will also hear more about how you may be involved in the delivery of the pilot and importantly – in the evaluation.
The sessions are:
- Wednesday 24th May 19:30-20:30
- Thursday 25th May 11:30-12:30
