SEND Offer

We are extremely passionate about making sure your child has highly-personalised experience at Supreme Start School. This experience will begin before your child starts with us at Supreme Start School. We will liaise with you and your child, your family, the local authority SEND team, the previous setting’s SENCO and their class teacher in order to help them to settle and thrive.

At Supreme Start School, we offer:

  • Small classes and high levels of support
  • Individualised, EHCPled provision
  • A total communication package to support pre-verbal and non-verbal children
  • Highly skilled and qualified staff with expertise in SEND
  • Daily phonics and a focus on reading across the curriculum
  • Consistency of approach through our habits and routines
  • A therapeutic and nurturing environment
  • Positive support for emotional regulation and behaviour
  • An adapted and creative curriculum
  • Family dining to support communication, interaction and social skills
  • Working in partnership with families
  • A specialist environment for children with Autism
  • Internal therapies from our on-site SALT and Occupational Therapists with daily EHCP-based interventions for
  • all children
  • Off-site Physical Education with specialist providers from Oldham Active
  • Weekly swimming sessions at Royton Leisure Centre and other physical activities at venues such as The Castlebrook Centre
  • Weekly on-site music therapy with Oldham Music Service

We want your child to gain:

  • independence
  • confidence
  • communication
  • engagement in learning
  • physical and mental well-being
  • emotional regulation

Using your child’s EHCP and your input, we will create an Individual Education Plan (IEP) and a One Page Profile.

These documents help ensure that all staff across the school have a clear and consistent understanding of your child’s needs, strengths and targets.

We also create a provision map based on your child’s individual needs and outcomes. Staff use this information when planning and delivering sessions to ensure learning and interventions are carefully tailored to meet your child’s specific needs.

We follow the Assess, Plan, Do, Review (The Graduated Approach) cycle for all support and interventions and continually evaluate the progress your child makes in school. Progress and development will be shared with you regularly through a range of communication methods, including daily emails or messages, endofterm reports, EHCP reviews, parent coffee mornings, stay and play sessions, and any other methods you request.

We believe it is important to share every step of progress your child makes, no matter how small it may seem.
