The budget allocation is agreed between our school and the Local Authority at the beginning of each financial year. This is used to support children and young people with SEND in a wide variety of ways. A range of materials are provided by the school in order to assist in drawing up a programme for a child with SEND needs. These resources are distributed around the school. We encourage their efficient and effective use by raising awareness of availability of materials and matching resource to need. This is monitored each term by the SEND Coordinator and the Governing Body.
If a child has complex special educational needs, we could also apply to the Local Authority for additional top-up funding if the application were to meet the agreed outcomes. A Costed Provision Map would be developed in liaison with the child, young person, parent or carer to support this additional funding. An example of a costed provision map can be supplied by request from the SEND Coordinator.
If you would like to discuss your child’s needs in more detail please contact the school to arrange an appointment on 01388 602058 or via email at c.h.j@durhamlearning.net
