Lowerplace Primary School

Substantial needs may lead to a personalised learning or behavioural plan, external-agency advice, and potentially an EHCP application with consent.

“Should your child require substantial support within the school environment, we will implement a Personalised Learning Plan (PLP) or a Personalised Behavioural Plan (PBP) if the needs are SEMH related. These tools help to identify concise targets to facilitate your child's progress. In cases involving external agencies, we will consider their advice, ensuring a comprehensive and collaborative approach to supporting your child's educational journey. Where needed, we may apply for a Educational Health Care Plan (EHCP) with parental/carer consent.”

The school names Mr P Mason as its Inclusion Lead and SENDCo.
