SEND (SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS AND DISABILITY)
|
We are an inclusive school committed to giving all our pupils every opportunity to achieve the highest of standards.
We provide education for all pupils through a variety of access strategies and the provision of resources and facilities as necessary. All pupils' needs are considered and a range of flexible responses are available to accommodate and value their diversity. When necessary we support learning through appropriate external specialists, tailored to individual need. Download our Inclusion Policy including the Local Offer Early Help Policy |

Staffing expertise

Our Inclusion Manager (SENCO) is Ms Sharon Baxendale. She is responsible for coordinating provision for children with additional needs, for developing, implementing and monitoring the school's Inclusion and SEND Policy and facilitating specialist staff training, and for ensuring that parents are involved in and informed about their child's learning and support. Sharon can be contacted via the school office.
We also have staff in school with specialised SEND expertise and qualifications, including dyslexia teacher training, reading therapy, talking and drawing therapy. |
Working with other agencies

Our policy is to work actively to support cooperation between local authorities and health services, to ensure education, health and care services for children with special educational needs and disabilities are jointly planned and commissioned.
