SEND
The ethos at Seaview Primary School is for all children to Do MORE, Know MORE, and Be MORE. We strive to meet special educational needs through a whole-school, graduated approach. Collaboration between senior management, teachers, support staff, parents, agencies and, most importantly, the child results in inclusion for all.
At Seaview Primary School we ensure that all children:
- have a broad and balanced curriculum, that enables children to understand the relevance and purpose of learning
- experience levels of understanding and rates of progress which bring success and raise self esteem
- are provided a secure and safe environment, where children can flourish and grow
- have equal access to resources, provision and intervention
Our overall aim is to help all children reach their full potential in a caring and co-operative atmosphere where each child feels respected and valued.
Seaview Primary School fosters a culture of 'leaving no stone unturned' when supporting children with SEND needs. We offer all children access to support from external agencies and professionals; additional classroom support resources; sensory breakout rooms; sensory support resources, and movement breaks.
For children who find learning in a mainstream classroom challenging, we offer our SEND unit and resourced provision - Coast SEND support provision. There are four classrooms in this provision: The Beacon, The Beach, The Bay, and The Little Lighthouse (EYFS). Children who access this provision are support by an EHCP or Top-up funding.
SEND Information Report
Durham Local Offer
The Local Offer is part of the Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) reforms from the Children and Families Act 2014. The Local Offer has information for families of children and young people with Special Educational Needs or Disabilities (SEND), from birth to the age of 25.
There are two main purposes for the Local Offer:
- to improve information about services and provision available for families, children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities, and to make it easier for all families to find this information by making it available in one place.
- that by working directly with families, children and young people on developing the Local Offer, Local Authorities and Health partners can improve provision.
County Durham’s Local Offer includes leisure and activity providers, health and care services, education providers and support groups. The Local Offer, as with the rest of the Family Services Directory, is provided to help you find services more easily.
