At Exhall Junior School, we see every child as an individual, and prioritise pastoral support to ensure positive emotional and mental well-being. Our trained professionals offer various services to ensure that children receive the support that they need at that given time. This may include, nurture sessions tailored to individual recommendations focusing on such areas as bereavement and loss, resilience building and social and friendship skills. 

This approach helps raise children’s emotional awareness, developing social skills in a safe, familiar environment. All children benefit from such sessions with additional support provided. We are committed to ensuring that children are included by understanding that each child is unique. 

We have inclusion at the forefront of all we do, welcoming all children and families. We have high expectations for all students and ensure we are both supportive and challenge our children in our approach. For some children, arrangements must be made that go beyond our universal offer in order to include them as much as possible in all that the school can provide. We follow the SEND Code of Practice Guidance on the special educational needs and disability (SEND) system for children and young people aged 0 to 25.

A school’s provision for SEND is defined as support which is additional to or different from that which is available to all students. Our SEND information report is intended to give you information regarding the ways in which we ensure that children with SEND are educated, wherever possible, in an inclusive environment alongside their peers to enable each student to reach their potential. It may not list every skill, resource and strategy we employ in order to achieve this as these are continually developed and used to modify our provision to meet the changing requirements for individual pupils.

Mrs Isabelle Watts is a our appointed SENDco and is approachable and happy to meet with families to discuss any concerns or questions that they may have. To speak with Mrs Watts, please contact the school office, details can be found via our contact page. The SENDco is responsible to co-ordinating the support that children receive across the school, whilst working with other teaching staff and outside agencies, to ensure that children’s individual learning needs are being met.

Additional information about how students with SEND can be supported can be found in Warwickshire's Local Offer.
