Inclusion and SEND
At Repton Primary School, we believe that every child is a writer. All pupils are entitled to access an ambitious writing curriculum regardless of need, starting point or barrier to learning.
Teachers carefully adapt teaching to ensure that all pupils can participate successfully in the writing process and experience success as writers.
Teachers may provide:
Adaptations are responsive to individual need whilst maintaining high expectations for all learners.
Many pupils benefit from additional opportunities to orally rehearse and develop ideas before recording them.
Teachers provide opportunities for:
These approaches help children clarify ideas, develop language and build confidence before writing independently.
Support is carefully planned to enable pupils to become increasingly independent as writers.
Teachers seek to remove barriers to learning without reducing the level of challenge or ambition. Children are encouraged to take increasing ownership of the writing process whilst receiving appropriate support to achieve success.
Where appropriate, pupils may receive additional support to develop:
Interventions are designed to complement, rather than replace, high-quality classroom teaching.
Where appropriate, pupils may access reasonable adjustments, alternative recording methods or assistive technology to ensure that difficulties with transcription do not prevent them from demonstrating their understanding and ideas.
These approaches support pupils in accessing the curriculum whilst continuing to develop confidence and independence as writers.
