What action is taken by the school to meet your child's needs?

 They will:


Write an education plan for your child - this is usually called an Individual Education Plan.


Implement appropriate teaching strategies – Your child may need to be taught in different ways, perhaps in small groups - away from the main class


State who will work with your child and what materials might be needed to help them – For example, the school may decide to put your child on a different literacy or numeracy scheme, or may need a particular type of grip for their pencil


Keep you informed of your child's progress by having regular IEP reviews – These should be meetings with you and, where appropriate, your child which should be held at least twice a year to explain whether the targets set and the additional support have been helping your child make progress.

 

Record the success of the plan on the IEP


 

If your child still hasn't made progress despite the school putting in place additional support, you or the school may want to request a statutory assessment which is the process that may lead to your child having a statement.


The LA will then consider whether the pupil meets its criteria for statutory assessment. Click here for Reading Borough Council’s Criteria for statutory assessment.
