Special Educational Needs and Disabilities

Red Lane Primary School is a fully inclusive school with a clear approach to meeting the needs of pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) to ensure all pupils, regardless of their individual needs achieve their best and become confident individuals living a fulfilling life.

At Red Lane we work hard to meet the individual needs of all and make reasonable adjustments to ensure that their needs are met, to give them access to all aspects of the schools life. We ensure pupils have access to a wide range of support services and agencies which operate internally and externally in school.

Support in school;

  • All staff have training in Elklan, Working Memory, Autistic Spectrum Disorder and in other areas of Special Educational Needs

  • We have a Speech and Language Therapist who works in school across all age ranges

  • We work closely with Ladywood Outreach who offer advice, support and strategies for pupils in school

  • We work closely with behaviour support service

  • We have an Educational Psychologist who works to assess pupils in school should this be needed

  • The Inclusion team (made up of the Head of School, SENCO’s, Behaviour Lead, Safeguarding and Attendance Lead) meet on a weekly basis to discuss attainment and progress of SEND pupils

  • We have a school nurse who works with families in school

  • We refer to any other outside agency e.g. Paediatrician, Occupational Therapy to help support our pupils in school

Our parent guides provide useful information but as always we encourage anyone with any questions to contact our school SENCOs via the school office 01204 333580 or office@red-lane.bolton.sch.uk

If you have any concerns, please see the complaints policy for how to raise these.
