SEND Provision

Marsh Green Primary is a highly inclusive school that uses a graduated approach to SEND. All children have access to first quality teaching with differentiation. Some children receive additional interventions or longer-term support. The school holds SEND CLINICS to discuss progress, attainment and concerns, and uses APDR (Assess, Plan, Do and Review) cycles for students needing extra support. Some children receive funding from the Local Authority (e.g., TISS, EYAR, EHCP) to support targeted interventions. External professionals may be involved to advise and plan, including SALT, EP, OT, Sensory Support, and others as needed.
