The Special Educational Needs Code of Practice lies at the heart of Wanstead High School’s SEND Policy and sets out the processes and procedures that we follow to meet the needs of our pupils. The Code describes a graduated approach which recognises that children learn in different ways and can have different kinds of SEND and has a focus on quality first teaching. In addition, intervention and care both internally and externally through support, can be put in place to help overcome the difficulties that a child may have.
At Wanstead High School we strive to achieve aspirational outcomes and provision for our children and young people, set within a culture of inclusion and high expectations.
We currently have 40 pupils with EHCPs. We have 815 TA hours as quantified provision on Education Health and Care Plans. 32 out of 40 of our EHCP pupils qualified for top up funding as they have over 18 hours TA support with most having 20-25 hours. HLTAs support with managing the team of TAs and are allocated to year groups and specialist areas.
This is an excellent opportunity for a bright and innovative individual to support our SEND Inclusion Strategy. The SENDCo will lead a team of inclusion staff on various interventions, assessments and processes, promoting best practice and establishing an aspirational culture. Candidates must have a wide knowledge of SEMH needs as this is a growing area where pupils need support.
