Universally Available Provision: This is the provision that should be available to all children and young people so they can thrive in their setting. Universal provision provides strategies and interventions to support all children including those identified with special educational needs and disabilities.
PINS Project
DfE and NHS England-led Partnerships for Inclusion of Neurodiversity in Schools.
We are delighted to be able to share with you that we have been selected to be part of this project.
Outline of Project:
Meeting the needs of children with SEND in mainstream schools is the cornerstone to improving outcomes (across attainment, attendance and wellbeing), parental confidence and delivering the financially sustainable SEND system, as envisaged in the SEND and Alternative Provision (AP) Improvement Plan.
The PINS Project will bring health and education specialists and expert parent carers into our school to:
• Help shape whole school SEND provision.
• Provide early interventions at a whole school level.
• Upskill school staff.
• Support strengthening of partnerships between schools and parent carers.
Working with Parents and Carers
Collaboration with parents and carers is critical to the success of the PINS programme. Parent carers are key partners in the delivery of PINS and there will be parent carer representation at all levels.
This parent carer survey is part of the PINS programme. The survey is for all parents and carers of children attending the schools participating in the project. If you have more than one child attending the school, then you may complete the survey for the number of children you have attending the school. The information from the survey will be used to understand the current strengths and potential areas of improvement in each school. The survey will stay open until mid-July 2024.
Please complete the survey here: https://forms.office.com/e/KcfpKtuYuf or you can use the QR code if you prefer
There will be a parent carer event at St Thomas a Becket in the new school year. During this session we will share the survey results with you. More information about this event will follow after the summer holidays.
