The SEND Information Report sets out information about our processes for identifying and providing for children with SEND.  This document is updated annually, and a reference copy is available from the school office. It is large to download and print, so it has been structured as a series of hyperlinked pages for your convenience. This details our implementation. It is summarised here:

• Each child’s needs are considered when planning and teaching, and a broad and balanced curriculum is provided for all. This is true for all children at Hill View Primary School, regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, background, attainment, or Special Educational Need or Disability (SEND). Teachers at Hill View take account of individuals' needs and plan extra provision, where necessary, to support their learning.
• School tracking and information sharing with parents and other key agencies enable SEND to be identified early.  Processes for identification ensure that reasonable adjustments and differentiation have already been made in daily teaching.
• Evidence-based approaches, interventions, and resources are in place to support progress and achievement across the four broad categories of need: cognition and learning needs (including dyslexia); communication and interaction needs (including language delays and autism); sensory and physical needs; and social, emotional, and mental health needs (including ADHD).
• Ongoing CPD ensures that all staff have the appropriate knowledge and skills to plan and scaffold the curriculum. Specialist training gives teaching and support staff enhanced skills and expertise to deliver more tailored programmes of support for pupils with the greatest needs. 
• SEND Plans are updated termly, with provisions revised in light of pupil progress and the impact of this support.

Our impact on SEND is best seen on a visit to Hill View; regardless of level and type of need, children with SEND are welcomed, included, and hard to spot! We are proud of our provision and the resulting progress, as well as our nurturing of children who have a sense of belonging. Our impact on SEND is summarised here:

• Hill View Primary School is a SEND-friendly learning environment with thorough processes and procedures. 
• Children with SEND feel welcome and included in class, thanks to our reasonable adjustments.
• Their individual needs are explored thoroughly, and they have relevant provisions.  Our provision is creative and based on nurture and relationships, so it is linked to individual needs.
• Parents are actively involved in all decision-making, including determining whether SEND support is required. Parents and children are invited to review SEND plans termly. Their views and contributions were welcomed and valued.
• We have a strong partnership with outside agencies to inform developments in wider school SEND provision.
• Our children with SEND make progress from their starting points – academically, personally, and, socially.
