Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) provision
Bowbrook Primary School is an inclusive mainstream school which offers a broad and balanced curriculum which aims to encourage all children to achieve their full potential, including children with SEND.
When children with SEND join our school, appropriate support is put in place for them to succeed. If a child has an EHCP and Bowbook School is named on this, then they will be given priority for admissions when requesting a place at our school. (Please see the School Admissions Policy where this outlined for school aged children for admissions to Reception Class and above)
If they are transferring from a nursery/preschool setting, transition meetings are set up between the preschool provider and the nursery and reception teachers at our school to encourage a smooth handover.
We actively encourage parents to speak to the child’s class teacher or SENDCO to discuss any concerns which may arise during transition from one setting to another.
The policies below give an outline as to how we support children with SEND within our school.

Bowbrook Specialist Resource Provision
For a small number of children with complex education, health and care needs, a placement a Resourced Provision may be identified as appropriate.
Bowbrook primary has a Resourced Provision on site. This specialises in supporting children with Cognition and Learning needs and Communication and Interaction difficulties too.
A child or young person must have an EHCP to be granted a place in a Resourced Provision. All admissions are considered by Shropshire Council in accordance with the SEN and Disability Code of Practice and with consultation with the setting before a decision on a placement is made. Admissions are managed in partnership through consultation between the EHCP Team, the setting and Shropshire School Admissions. Please contact the EHCP Team for more information.

Support for parent carers of children with SEND – Shropshire’s Local Offer
Having access to good quality information to help you understand the world of SEND is important when making decisions about your child’s life.
This is where websites such as the Shropshire’s SEND Local Offer can help you.
The Local Offer sets out in one place useful information and provision for education, health and social care for children and young people in Shropshire who have SEN or are disabled, including those who don’t have education, health, and care (EHC) plans.
The local offer has two main sections. The first is the information section, where services and processes are explained, such as how to get extra help at nursery or school or who to speak to if you’re worried about your child’s progress. This section will introduce you to support that might help your family and help you to understand what is available from a range of services across education, health, social care, support for your family, finance, travel and transport and lots more.
The second section is the service directory. This is a comprehensive list of services, clubs, support groups and businesses that might be of use to your family. It provides a brief introduction to what’s offered and contact details so that you can find out more. There’s also a listing of events and activities for children and young people or for families to enjoy together.
You can also keep up to date with Local Offer news and events by following The Local Offer on Facebook and Twitter.
