SEND in PAVE
PAVE SEND
In PAVE (PE, Technology, and Food), we are committed to ensuring that all students, including those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), thrive and succeed. These subjects often provide a unique opportunity for SEND students to excel because of their practical, hands-on nature, which allows learners to engage actively and demonstrate understanding in creative and physical ways.
To support SEND students effectively, we use a range of strategies designed to remove barriers and promote independence:
How We Support SEND Students
- Dual-Coded Instructions
Example: In Food Technology, recipes include both written steps and clear images of each stage, helping students follow along visually and textually. - Explicit Teaching of Key Vocabulary
Example: In Technology lessons, words like “laminate” or “solder” are introduced with definitions, pictures, and practical demonstrations. Vocabulary is displayed on classroom walls and revisited regularly. - Narrated Teacher Demonstrations
Example: In PE, the teacher demonstrates a basketball dribble while explaining each movement aloud, so students hear and see the technique simultaneously. - Videos to Support Key Concepts
Example: Before practical cooking, students watch a short video on knife safety and cutting techniques, which they can replay if needed. - Writing Frames and Structured Templates
Example: In Technology, students use a design brief template with prompts like “Materials I will use…” and “Steps to make my product…” to guide their planning. - Chunking of Tasks and Instructions
Example: In Food lessons, a complex recipe is broken down into smaller steps: “First wash your hands, then collect ingredients, then measure flour…” so students can focus on one stage at a time. - Strategic Grouping and Seating
Example: In PE, students who need extra support are paired with confident peers during team activities, promoting collaboration and reducing anxiety.
Through these approaches, we aim to create an inclusive environment where every student can access the curriculum, develop practical skills, and build confidence in PE, Technology, and Food.
