SEND

Our motto ‘Learning. Growing. Succeeding.’ is central to our fully inclusive vision of a high-quality education for ALL children regardless of differences, different starting points and any Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities.   Our ‘Quality First Teaching’ ensures that the learning needs of all children are met through adapted and personalised learning experiences that may include support and/or challenge through the use of resources, activities, adult support, or outcomes.

Where children may require support in addition to that provided by the class teacher, we will collectively establish the best course of action to secure success. This may involve the intervention of a ‘Learning Supervisor’ and the provision of a personalised programme, or the expertise of a specialist such as the SEND Services Advisor or Educational Psychologist.

Whatever course of action is taken, this will be carried out after consultations with the child/ren and their parents/carers.   

Our school SEND Leader is:
