Ds came home from school with a standard 'dear parent' letter in his book bag, it reads:-
Following new Government guidance on SEN in the form of The Green Paper, X Borough have issued new guidance to help with the id of children with SENS and the support they should receive in school.
As a result of this guidance, there have been changes to the children who need to be listed on the SEN register. This has meant some new children now need to be placed on the register, some children need to be removed and some children need to be transferred onto a medical needs list.
Children may now be identified as needing Class ation
These children require arrangements to be made in class to enable them to learn more easily such as different approaches and strategies. These may be as a result of Assessment and recommendations by other agenceis. They are 2 or 3 NC sub levels behind expected levels for thier age and are likely to receive more targeted and focused work from the class teacher
School Action children who are following programmes which have been recommended by an outside agency as part of intervention groups within the school These children will be 3-5 sub levels below age expected levels in the Core Curiculum Areas
Ds is in year 2 and his sub level are 2's, the average for a year 2. Does this mean he will now receive no help?
Is this right?
