SEND

At Templewood we ensure all pupils are included in all aspects of the school curriculum. Our SEND Statutory Information can be found through top tabs. This page is for parents and carers to access key information following SEND Coffee and Chat or discussions with the SENCo.

If you wish to contact the SENCo please feel free to book an appointment through the school office or email senco@templewood.herts.sch.uk

EHCP

Please find a link a PowerPoint describing the EHCP process below, along with the EHCP application. Other links discussed were the Herts Local Offer which shares how Hertfordshire will support you and your child.

Pupil Documents

As a school we want to ensure all staff are aware of the needs of each SEND pupil. Each pupil has a Pupil Passport that identifies their likes, what they are good at and things they find difficult.

We also have Assess Plan Do Review targets (APDR). Each term the parents, class teacher and the pupil meet to discuss a target which the pupil wants to work on. If interventions are required such as Speech and Language, literacy support, ASD strategies, etc, then these are in addition to the target the child chooses. We have found as a school that the APDR targets really encourage pupils to think about what they want to improve on and develop their self-esteem when they can see they have reached their target at the end of the term.
