What is the Local Offer for Wakefield SEND?
It provides information and support available for families with children and young people aged 0-25 years with special educational needs and/or disabilities. For further information on the local offer, please click on the link below:
At North Featherstone J&I School (NFJI), we provide teaching and learning which enables all children to gain access to a broad, balanced and appropriately differentiated curriculum. We strongly believe in the role of Quality First Teaching and Curriculum Entitlement for all children.
Our aim is to ensure all children are supported in order that they may work confidently towards reaching their full potential. The Principles of the SEND Code of Practice (2015) sets out the following guidance:
At NFJI we pay close regard to the key principles of inclusive education:
Wave 1 - Wave 1 (Universal): describes quality inclusive teaching which takes into account the learning needs of all the children in the classroom. This includes providing differentiated work and creating an inclusive learning environment.
Wave 2 - Wave 2 (Targeted): describes specific, additional and time-limited interventions provided for some children who need help to accelerate their progress to enable them to work at or above age-related expectations. Wave 2 interventions are often targeted at a group of pupils with similar needs.
Wave 3 - Wave 3 (Specialist): describes targeted provision for a minority of children where it is necessary to provide highly tailored intervention to accelerate progress or enable children to achieve their potential. This may include specialist interventions.
At NFJI, we have a team of experienced Teachers and Teaching Support Assistants (TSAs) who plan and delivery a range of interventions to meet our Wave 3 need. See below for some of them!
NFJIs Big Red Bus
After almost a year of planning, we officially opened our new double decker bus, our classroom on wheels, in September 2022, with the help if a few Featherstone Rovers rugby stars! This unique extension to our learning environment has created a lot of interest and will support children's learning, especially those with special educational needs.
Wakefield Early Support, Advice, Information and Liaison (WESAIL) provides a free, confidential and impartial service.
The aim of the WESAIL service is to support children, young people, their parents, carers and families by providing information to navigate systems and processes so that they can play an active role in decision making about matters relating to their or their children’s health, education, social care to support and empower them in meeting their child’s needs and promoting self-advocacy.
WESAIL is also responsible for updating the Local Offer and engaging with children, young people, families and stakeholders in its ongoing development and review. The aim of the local Offer is to help people easily find information about the services, activities and support available in the local area for children and young people with Special Educational Needs and /or Disabilities and their families.
