“Our children’s voices will always be heard!“
How does the school know if I need extra help?
Teachers carefully monitor your learning every day. They use Effective assessment as a key teaching component and this supports your inclusive offer. Your classwork, observations and assessments are used to check how well you are progressing. If you are not making the progress you should, your teacher will quickly identify this and put support in place to help you succeed.
What should I do if I think I need extra help?
You should speak to your teacher or a trusted adult in school as soon as possible. You can also talk to your parent/carer, who can contact school to discuss your needs. We encourage all pupils to speak up so support can be provided quickly.
How will my work be organised to meet my needs?
Your teacher will ensure that learning is well-matched to your ability through adaptive teaching. This means:
- Work is set at the right level to challenge and support you
- Resources and strategies are adapted to help you access learning
- You may sometimes complete different tasks or use additional support materials
- You may have a personal resource folder to support your independence in lessons
This ensures you can access the same curriculum as your peers and make strong progress.
How will I be involved in planning my support?
Oracy is a key component of teaching in Kader. The staff will continually converse with you to ensure you are ok and are thriving. They will:
- Explain what you are doing well
- Share clear next steps to improve your work- Golden opportunities
- Review your targets on your SEND Support Plan
- Listen to you and respond to what you feel is working well or what needs to change.
Your views are important, and your voice will be included in setting and reviewing your targets.
Who will help me become more independent?
Your teacher and teaching assistants will support you in developing independence by:
- Showing you strategies to improve your work and behaviour
- Encouraging you to take responsibility for your learning
- Providing support such as a peer buddy where appropriate
The aim is to help you become a confident and independent learner.
How will I know if I am doing well?
You will receive regular feedback through:
- Verbal feedback in lessons
- Written feedback in your books
- Assessment results and progress checks
This will help you understand your progress and what you need to do next to improve.

How can I get help if I am worried about something else?

Can I take part in clubs and activities?
