The SEND planning tool is a curriculum document that breaks down barriers to understanding and therefore progress.  It can be used in its entirety or just the relevant sections for each individual child.  For example, a child on the autistic spectrum may be operating at age related expectations in many areas of the English curriculum, but assessment has identified elements of reading comprehension where the child is operating well below their peers.

Pupils with SEND may never achieve the full curriculum, however what they do learn is learnt with depth and rigour.  Therefore slowing down on content, teaching less but teaching it well is essential.
