Fusion S2S Service

Our Fusion S2S Service is a team of Specialist Teachers in SEND who support primary and secondary schools, pupils and families.  Our Consultant Teachers in SEND are exceptionally qualified and experienced professionals who bring a wide range of knowledge, skills and understanding to supporting children’s learning.  We offer a flexible and responsive service to support SEND within a variety of settings including schools, families of schools, localities and MATs. We can support/hold initial planning meetings with SENCo’s/Inclusion Managers to agree the range of work to be carried out through the year, review the impact/progress in the final term, which will then inform next year’s action plan. Our Team can focus on individual children with learning difficulties, which could involve carrying out a range of assessments, observing in the classroom and working alongside adults who support the child. We also offer support to school management teams in their work on raising the attainment of groups of pupils, on developing inclusive practices and in responding to national and local developments.

School to school support is delivered through a clearly communicated core offer to schools. This appears on the Sheffield Local Authority Services to Schools website, where Sheffield schools and Academies can purchase LA services.

Non Sheffield schools, or those not wishing to access this support via this portal, can contact Fusion SEND Hub direct and contract support days, enquiries@fusiontsa.co.uk

Schools request the type of support needed and the anticipated number of days.

A personalised planning meeting takes place to detail the school priority focus for input, style of delivery and impact criteria.

To ensure evolving needs are met, a range of specialist practitioners are also secured on an “as and when needed” basis.
