SEND Information
Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) Information Report
From September 2014 all schools and academies are required to publish information about their SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS and DISABILITY (SEND) provision. In Wiltshire, this will form part of a Local Offer and details about our SEND provision, and that of other schools and agencies provision, can be found under a dedicated Local Offer website accessed by clicking:

This is in line with a new Code of Practice, which can be found in its entirety by clicking here. The new Code of Practice focusses on providing the right support for children and young people from 0 to 25 who have a special educational need and / or a disability. It also gives parents and carers a greater say in what appropriate provision is for their child.
The new Code of Practice will also see the phased ending of School Action, School Action Plus and Statements as a means to categorising SEND – instead where there is a need, children will be identified as requiring extra support and for those where there will be a higher level of support, the child will be in support of an Education and Healthcare plan. This replaces the old system where a child would receive a 'Statement of Special Educational need'. In Wiltshire, the Education and Healthcare plan is referred to as a 'My Plan'; meaning that it is owned by the child.
Below is a set of questions that will help you understand more about SEND and our approach to SEND at Morgan's Vale and Woodfalls CE Primary School (MVW Academy).
