We aspire to ensure that we identify and assess early indicators of a special education need or disabilty at the earliest time so that approrpiate provision and support can be put in place at the soonest opportunity. School are eager to work with parents to support identification of needs. Where necessary school aim to aid parents with appropriate outside agency referrals. We follow a graduated approach to assessing, planning, doing and reviewing the provision and progress of each child idenfied as having a special educational need or disability. We recognise the vital role parents have in supporting school to best meet the holistic needs of their children. We work closely with a range of outside agencies (Applied Psychologies, Future Steps, Speech and Language, NHS medical services, CAMHS, Neurodevelopmental Pathway to name a few) in order to best understand the needs of individuals and to best adapt provision to support the child in the most effective ways. We prioritise effective in school and next stage transitions so children expereince smooth move to the next step of their education. Our SENCO is Gemma Holloway. #### ### Harrow Gate Academy SEND Offer Academy SEND Offer 446 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/harrowgate-primary-academy-2/files/documents/HGPA_School_Offer_Jan_2022(1).pptx) #### Stockton's Local SEND Offer provides information to parents and carers of children and young people with special educational needs or disabilities, aged 0 – 25, to help them to understand what services and support, they and their families can expect from a range of local agencies within the local authority and neighbouring area.Stockton's Local Offer Please click the link below to access full details of Stockton's Local Offer #### #### Complaints procedure for SEN support and EHCP provision If you want to complain about a school’s [**SEN support**](https://www.gov.uk/children-with-special-educational-needs), you should do it while your child is still registered at the school.
