• Entry at Year 7 (baseline report, primary school transfer information), entry mid-year (Entrance test, School file transfer information), entry at Sixth Form (GCSE results, School file transfer information).
• Assessment cycles are used to seek to identify pupils making less than expected progress given their age and individual circumstances.
• Referrals from staff who identify pupils making less than expected progress given their age and individual circumstances.
• Referrals from parents or pupils who raise concerns that there may be a specific SEND need

Information collation and sharing - The SENDCo co-ordinates with relevant Pastoral and Safeguarding staff to review pupil needs: 

The SENDCo maintains a SEND register outlining pupils for whom provision needs to be ‘additional to or different from’ (SEND Support) and those for whom there are potential SEND needs or are historic SEND needs (SEND Awareness). The SENDCo communicates with staff when an assessment of needs and reasonable adjustments are updated.
