Totternhoe is a fully inclusive school. We firmly believe  that all children can make great individual progress and do so in a supportive  happy  community.    We  work  closely with families and actively encourage parents and carers to come into school to meet with class teachers and Mrs Bates (SENDco ), Miss Needham (main school) or Mrs Waters (Pre School).   We hold My Plan meetings termly, when  SMART targets are set with  you and your child.  But our open door policy means we can meet more regularly if your child's needs are greater. 
Squirrel Squad Nurture Group
We are a KS2 Nurture group based within Totternhoe C.E Academy.  Our staff are specially trained in the theory and practice of Nurture Groups.   We aim to provide an individualised programme of education focusing on the social and emotional needs of the children who are finding adapting to the requirements of formal learning challenging and overwhelming. For   more   information   click   here.

Intervention groups 
At Totternhoe it is  part of school life to be part of a  group outside of the normal classroom  day.  We  strive to extend and  stretch all children's learning and development to achieve a greater depth of understanding. 

Small group  work can be carried out for:
​Fine motor (hand writing)
Social skills games group
Computing  club
5 minute daily keep up phonics (RWI)
​LEGO Therapy

KS1
More able maths
More able  English
Keep up maths games
Keep up  writing
Brain Biscuit club (after school for invited children)

KS2

More able  English

A note is sent home each term informing parents/ carers if their child is to be part of a group.  The groups are moved around the school day  each half term.
If you would like more  detail please  speak to your child's class teacher.

SEND Parent/ Carer Drop-Ins

SENDIASS
We are a free, impartial and confidential service offering young people with SEND and their families information or support around all aspects of SEND.   Visit our new, independent  website  packed full of information which we hope is useful to young people and their families as well as professionals.  
https://cbsendiass.org/
During lockdown and beyond we are now running an “Ask SENDIASS” session for young people with SEND and their families to discuss their queries and concerns with a SENDIASS officer. Click   flyer  to find out more.     This will run alongside our normal access routes into the service and we hope to get back a version of our more traditional face to face drop-ins next academic year.
We are always looking for more volunteers to support the service in various ways. Interested? Follow this link:   volunteer recruitment advert
