Special Educational Needs
School SEND Information
This school provides a rich, broad, balanced and connected curriculum for all children. The National Curriculum is our starting point for planning that meets the specific needs of individuals and groups of children. When planning, teachers set suitable learning challenges and respond to children’s diverse learning needs. A minority of children have particular learning and assessment requirements that could create barriers to learning.
These requirements are likely to arise as a consequence of a child having a special educational need. Teachers take account of these requirements and make provision, where necessary, to support individuals or groups of children and thus enable them to participate effectively in curriculum and assessment activities.
Children may have special educational needs either throughout, or at any time during, their school career. This offer ensures that curriculum planning and assessment for children with special educational needs takes account of the type and extent of the difficulty experienced by the child.
Our SENDco is Mrs Nicola Felton and our Governor with responsibility for SEND is Mrs Rachel Thould.
