Special Education Needs
Bude Infant School has around 200 children on roll each year. During our last Ofsted inspection it was noted that the provision for special educational needs was a strength of the school. The SENCO has undertaken courses to build upon and strengthen knowledge and understanding of this area. Each teacher is thoroughly aware of the school's stand on SEN through such documentation as the school's SEN and Gifted and Talented policies. It is the classroom practitioner's responsibility to identify those whom they feel have special educational needs of any type. This is achieved through classroom observation and on going assessment. Parental involvement is sought from the start. Parents are involved in all decisions regarding the provision for their child and copies of all the relevant paperwork are sent home. There is an open door policy in the school and parents are welcome to come in to discuss any issues they have or to raise any questions. Individual Education Plan targets are set by the child's class teacher and are reviewed termly but can be altered at any time if need be. We have a dedicated special needs teaching assistant, who may take individuals or groups of children out of class for intensive work or preparation. This is undertaken in a SEN dedicated classroom. She can also be used within the classroom setting, depending on what the teacher deems suitable. Additionally we have teaching assistants in the classrooms who can help the teacher address the needs of all children. Bude Infant school has a warm and friendly atmosphere and all children are valued and we have high expectations of all. Each child on the school's Record of Need is reviewed termly and their progress discussed with all the involved parties. We have had experiences of a wide range of special educational needs which has helped us to build on our good practice. There is constant communication between all members of staff regarding SEN. The school's main theory regarding SEN is that early identification is a must.

Interpreting catchment maps
The maps show in colour where the pupils at a school came from*. Red = most pupils to Blue = fewest.
Where the map is not coloured we have no record in the previous three years of any pupils being admitted from that location based on the options chosen.
For help and explanation of our catchment maps see: Catchment maps explained
Further reading
If there are more applicants to a school than it has places for, who gets in is determined by which applicants best fulfil the admissions criteria.
Admissions criteria are often complicated, and may change from year to year. The best source of information is usually the relevant local authority website, but once you have set your sights on a school it is a good idea to ask them how they see things panning out for the year that you are interested in.
Many schools admit children based on distance from the school or a fixed catchment area. For such schools, the cut-off distance will vary from year to year, especially if the school give priority to siblings, and the pattern will be of a central core with outliers (who will mostly be siblings). Schools that admit on the basis of academic or religious selection will have a much more scattered pattern.
*The coloured areas outlined in black are Census Output Areas. These are made up of a group of neighbouring postcodes, which accounts for their odd shapes. These provide an indication, but not a precise map, of the school’s catchment: always refer to local authority and school websites for precise information.
The 'hotter' the colour the more children have been admitted.
