Special Educational Needs and Disability
Our commitment is to enable each child to achieve his/her full potential. We assess all children within the first half of the term of them joining Tickford Park and at regular intervals thereafter, so that teaching and learning activities can be appropriately matched for each child.
A number of children in school are identified as having special educational needs and disabilities. Early identification of children with difficulties usually leads to successful intervention and, if children need additional support, we involve parents fully and work closely with them. This will mean that the SENCO (Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator) will be working with the class teacher, and teaching assistants, alongside you and your child, to plan, monitor and review the special educational provision and progress made.

As well as supporting children with a range of resources within the school we also support children (where necessary) by calling upon external specialist agencies such as Educational Psychologists and other Specialist Teachers from the MK SEND team.
Assessments of individual children’s progress are made on a regular basis and where appropriate Personalised Pupil Plans (PPPs) are drawn up to ensure that the needs of each child are met.
Parents will be involved at all stages and asked to contribute to these reviews. If it is felt a child has complex, long term, needs an application for an Education and Health Care plan will be made to MK SEND teams. This will only apply to a minority of children. If you have any concerns about your child you should discuss these in the first instance with the class teacher. Transition meetings are held to support the successful transfer of children with Special Educational Needs & Disabilities to their secondary school.
The school works to ensure that our most able children are challenged and extended.

Disabled Access
Ramps to some entrances facilitate wheelchair access and parents of disabled children should seek an appointment with the Head teacher as soon as possible to discuss how their individual needs can be met. Disabled toilets are available.
