UAH ensures that pupils with SEND are supported in a wide variety of ways including: 

• A wide range of intervention strategies through both pastoral and progress monitoring; 

• Monitoring of the progress made by pupils on the SEND register by relevant staff with EHCP pupils having a key worker responsible for all aspects of their provision; 

• Careful deployment of staff to maximise progress. 

The Special Educational Needs and Disability Code of Practice (2015) identifies that high-quality teaching that is differentiated and personalised will meet the individual needs of the majority of children and young people. A child or young person has SEND if they have a learning difficulty or disability which calls for special educational provision to be made for him or her. 

The SEND Code of Practice identifies learning difficulty as: 

A child of compulsory school age or a young person has a learning difficulty or disability if he or she: 

• has a significantly greater difficulty in learning than the majority of others of the same age, or 

• has a disability which prevents or hinders a child or young person from making use of facilities of a kind generally provided for others of the same age in mainstream schools or mainstream post-16 institutions’
