School Offer

Our ethos:

We at Forres believe that all children have the right to access the curriculum and be part of our inclusive mainstream setting.

Our provisions:

• We provide personalised visual timetables for pupils, to have an ordered and predictable structure to the day within a mainstream classroom

• We offer a life skills group and a social skills group, to improve social understanding and equip pupils with strategies to use in everyday life

• Staff are highly aware of how SEND affects children and are trained to meet the needs of each individual.

• We provide Individual Education Plans to each pupil with SEND which recognises the details of their needs and sets out targets to address them

• We provide learning support to ensure pupils are confident and comfortable in their learning environment while receiving the support they require

• We self assess our SEN practice regularly

• We adopt a multidisciplinary approach including principles from SCERTS, SPELL, TEACCH and Makaton/sign-along to support speech

• Forres SEN staff will meet with parents to discuss individual needs before a child transitions into the school

Please note: If you child has SEND, they may not receive every intervention listed on this page. Support and interventions are agreed on a case by case basic.
