Hello,

For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Mrs Haley and I lead on Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) provision at Hill View Academy. 

My role involves working closely with parents, teachers, health services and a range of outside agencies to ensure that children needing additional support make progress and reach their potential. I work closely with parents/carers, providing them with information and ensuring they feel involved in making decisions about their child’s education.

I ensure that additional provision is in place for those who need it and monitor the impact of this to ensure all children are making progress and achieving to their full potential. Sometimes the support required may be short term, allowing children to close any gaps in their learning so that they can keep pace with the rest of the class. Whilst other children may require long term support due to their medical, developmental or emotional needs.

Below, I have answered some of our frequently asked questions. If you have any other questions about SEND provision, please contact the office and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

Who are the best people to talk to in school about my child's needs?
  • Your child’s class teacher is always the best person to speak to initially. They work with your child daily and are best placed to answer any questions you have about their day-to-day learning.
  • Mrs Haley will be happy to speak to you about specific concerns or answer any questions you may have about your child’s additional needs – email office@hillviewacademy.co.uk with the subject FAO Office.

  • In our school, our support is based on recognising the individual needs of your child.
  • Our teachers are all qualified and have regular CPD in order to meet the variety of needs in their classroom. All children in school have support within lessons through differentiation and quality first teaching strategies. This means that activities are planned according to the level the child is working at. This can include a variety of adaptations including changes to the physical environment, changes to teaching styles as well as levels of adult support.
  • Our teaching team have many years of experience supporting a variety of needs.
  • The Teaching Assistants at Hill View are regularly trained in how to best support all children, especially those with Special Educational Needs.
  • If additional training is needed for the adults working with your child, this will be provided.
  • We have a wealth of experience in supporting children with Autistic Spectrum Condition (ASC).
  • Where children have a physical or medical difficulty the school ensures it provides appropriate resources. As a school we would always make adjustments to ensure that all children are fully included.
How often is the school going to feedback regarding my child's progression and learning
  • Feedback and/or discussion for your child’s progress can take place both formally and informally.
  • There are regular opportunities (three times a year) for formal feedback.
  • You can request an additional meeting at any time.
  • When you collect your child at the end of the day, the class teacher will be happy to give you brief feedback.
  • If you have any immediate concerns, you will always be able to talk to someone in school.
How will my child be able to interact with other children??
  • All children in our school learn to value and respect each other as individuals and celebrate differences.
  • Children at our school are excellent at supporting and helping children with special needs and this is something that we are very proud of.
