SEND & Inclusion
At Ravenbank, we are committed to ensuring that every child is supported to feel happy, safe and successful in school. We recognise that children may experience barriers to learning at different points in their school journey, and that these barriers may relate to special educational needs or disabilities (SEND), social, emotional and mental health (SEMH), behaviour, attendance, or English as an additional language (EAL). This page outlines our inclusive approach to identifying and supporting pupils’ needs through a clear, graduated approach.
Policies and Procedures
We have clear guidelines, policies and procedures in place to ensure that any pupil with special educational needs (SEND) or any other barriers to learning is identified at the earliest opportunity and then receives the additional support and help to which they are entitled. Our SENDco, Mrs Stanley, works closely with class teachers and families to ensure that the correct provision and support are available to all pupils with special educational needs or on the pathway towards this.
Who to contact first
If you have concerns about your child's progress in any area, the first point of call is always their class teacher. They will know their educational journey and will be able to discuss what support is already in place and what else we can do to support your child. Your child's teacher will seek advice from the SENDco where required.

SEN Local Offer
The purpose of the Local Offer is to provide information for parents and young people, in a single place, to help them understand what services they and their family can expect locally, including cross-authority boundaries and how to access them. These include: early years settings, schools (including academies and free schools), colleges, health, social care and social/leisure. The Local Offer also includes guidance for parents and young people on how to speak with practitioners and professionals. It also includes information on giving feedback, raising concerns and making complaints.
The Local Offer has two key purposes:
To provide clear, comprehensive and accessible information about the provision expected to be available; and
To make provision more responsive to local needs and aspirations, by directly involving children and young people with SEN, parents and carers, and service providers in its development and review.
Please find below the link to the Warrington Families website for the Local Offer.
