14. How is the decision made about what type and how much support my child receives?

The class teacher determines the level of support for individual pupils from within the class team. For those pupils where assessments and tracking indicate additional support maybe required, discussions are held between the class teacher and senior leaders to determine what this might be. Typically, this support continues to be provided from within the class team, but may be targeted at specific times, through intervention. 

If the evidence suggests that even higher levels of support maybe beneficial, this is agreed by senior leaders as the resource is provided from within the school. Only in complex and extreme situations, would additional support be requested from the Local Authority.

Throughout this parents would be involved at all levels through informal discussion, parents evening discussions and review meetings.
