Outreach
The Propeller Trust is committed to supporting schools and
staff in mainstream schools and nurseries to help to develop their knowledge, skills and confidence in supporting pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). Leaders and staff share best practice from across our schools through our outreach and SEND clinics offer.
Outreach and SEND clinics offered as part of the Special School Outreach programme run by the Oxfordshire County Council SEND Strategic Early Intervention Team are:
-
Leadership support: working with senior leadership teams to promote an inclusive culture, identify strengths in the SEND provision and create plans for areas of development.
-
Key Worker Development: Working with individual staff or teams to develop their skills, knowledge and confidence in meeting the needs of pupils and achieving positive outcomes.
-
SEND clinic: Opportunities for staff to visit our schools, to observe in class, review the resources available and meet with staff to model approaches or strategies.
Referrals are made through the Oxfordshire County Council SENDCO Helpdesk.
These referrals will be allocated to the most appropriate service by the Oxfordshire County Council SEND Strategic Development and Improvement Team.
Please note: We will signpost schools to other services where we feel that the needs of the child can be better met through their involvement. Special school places are controlled by the Local Authority, and pupil placements may not be materially impacted by previous special school support.
