Special Educational Needs and Disabilities - SEND

The special needs of any individual pupil are recognised and respected. Any pupils with medical conditions will be properly supported in order to allow them full access to education, including school trips and physical education. A special educational need or disability is not a barrier to joining the school.

We pride ourselves on knowing our pupils well. Small class sizes and continuous, yet low-key, assessments ensure that no pupil slips through the net. One-to-one sessions or small group intervention programmes to support phonics, reading skills and mathematics take place for recommended pupils. High achieving pupils are quickly recognised and stimulated through differentiated challenges and investigations.

A fully trained specialist team of staff embrace this area of the school in close partnership with all staff to ensure that a cohesive, inclusive and progressive approach is dedicated to every pupil.
