Interventions

We deliver a variety of tailored interventions to assist the students’ wider learning and help to engage with within the classroom. We work closely with key departments and the pastoral team to identify areas of support required and then carry out relevant tests in areas which help us understand the students' needs and organise relevant, targeted and successful interventions under the following umbrellas:

SEND FAQs

Our Objectives​

  • To provide an outstanding education to all students

  • To encourage independence through an inclusive environment that allows students to reach their full potential

  • To fully acknowledge that SEND is a whole school responsibility

​

Plume Academy Way

  • Resources made available to all pupils 

  • Every teacher is a teacher of SEND and, a leader of SEND

  • Quality teaching adapted for all individuals (moving away from differentiation)

  • Class and category is not a barrier

  • Shared commitment to inclusion

  • Collaborative problem-solving in teaching and learning

  • Focus of learning differences, rather than difficulties

​

2022-23 SEND Strategy 

  • Independence for all through quality teaching and evidence based interventions

  • Quality teaching in the classroom as much as possible, led by experienced staff rather than reliant on LSA support

  • The focus of SEND is to equip and support pupils to be able to learn independently

Our interventions either take place during Tutor Group in the morning or are integrated into lesson time in non-core subjects. Interventions are measured either by pre and post testing or by weekly logs which can highlight progress being made. A final recommendation is made at the end of the intervention where further or different interventions can be requested.   

 

As well as these lesson style interventions we also support students in other ways which include short check in mentoring sessions, opportunity to attend breakfast club, certain cards which allow students reasonable adjustments to support their learning. These adjustments are monitored and are reviewed and will be adjusted when the needs suits.
