Special Needs
Additional Educational Needs
At Calpe School all children are valued, respected and welcome whatever their additional need. We will support their learning and inclusion.
The special Educational Needs code of Practice 2001 recognises there are four broad areas:
- Communication and interaction (language and autistic spectrum disorders)
- Cognition and learning (general learning and specific learning difficulties)
- Physical & Sensory
- Behavioural, emotional and social
Our set procedure for identifying and assessing the special needs of individual children involves the child, parents or guardians, teaching staff and external agencies. We are able to fast track children for full assessment to our Educational/Child Psychologist Mr F Trinidad.
Parents a play vital part in the education of their children and at Calpe school we like to work closely with all parents whatever the needs of their children.
Gifted, able and talented
We recognise academic and practical performance as well as those who show outstanding, artistic, musical and creative talent physical skills, leadership qualities and the ability to process ideas and information.
English as an Additional Language (E.A.L)
Children whose first language is manly English, work daily with support to improve English skills to enable full access to the English curriculum as quickly as possible.
