At Oakfield, we recognise that any child may require extra help with schoolwork during their time spent with us.
We have a wonderful team of Teaching Assistants working within the school. Some work exclusively delivering intervention and in monitoring roles, others work directly in the classroom supporting the teacher.
This can include small group work as well as supporting individuals with specific tasks. Most TAs are keyworkers to a handful of students who need that extra regular contact with home.
We are holding half termly SEND Coffee Mornings/afternoon sessions for parents to attend. Following parent feedback we are looking to arrange external visitors to these sessions. Dates for 2024/2025 are to be confirmed.
This will be reviewed and updated regularly by Alison Ingram -Assistant Head Teacher Inclusion and Nathan Webb - Assistant SENDCo . A school SEND report will be published annually on our SEND documents page along with our SEND Policy.
