Special Educational Needs

Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities 

At Manor Field Infant School, we embrace the fact that every child is unique!

Therefore, the educational of every child needs to be tailored for their individual needs.

Our school SENCO is Miss Bennett.

The documents on this page assist parents with further information regarding SEND, however please feel free to come and make an appointment if you wish to discuss your child's additional needs.

What is THRIVE?

The Thrive Approach provides 1 to 1 or group sessions support, focusing on building relationships with the children to develop their knowledge, skills and tools to optimise social and emotional development.

Thrive not only benefits the children, but those working with them and the wider community.

Who are THRIVE sessions for? 

Thrive sessions are set up for children with social, emotional and behavioural difficulties which may include:

• lack of self-esteem
• withdrawn
• unable to share and take turns
• doesn't trust adults/peers
• may lack in mannerism skills
• disrupts other children in the classroom
• has behavioural issues
• language skills
• struggle with the mainstream classroom environment

Entry into the sessions is carefully considered through a staged referral procedure and the use of a range of assessments over time.
