The SEND Code of Practice says:

Class and subject teachers, supported by the senior leadership team, should make regular assessments of progress for all pupils. These should seek to identify pupils making less than expected progress given their age and individual circumstances.

(SEND Code of Practice section 6.17)

The school should then decide if your child or young person needs SEND support. The school should talk to you and your child about this. If a young person is 16 or older the school should involve them directly.

Sometimes you may be the first to notice that your child or young person has or may have Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND). If you think your child or young person may need SEND support you should talk to your child’s teacher or to the Special Educational Needs and Disability Co-Ordinator (SENDCO).

If you are not happy about the support your child has you can ask to talk to the SENDCO or headteacher.
