SEND
Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)
At our school, we are committed to providing an inclusive, nurturing environment where every child is valued, supported and able to achieve their full potential. We recognise that all children learn in different ways, and we work closely with families to ensure that pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) receive the right support at the right time.
Our Approach to SEND
We follow the principles of the SEND Code of Practice (2015), ensuring that:
- Children with SEND are identified early
- Support is tailored to individual needs
- Parents and carers are fully involved in decisions
- Pupils’ views are listened to and respected
- High‑quality teaching is at the heart of every classroom
Our SENDCo, Rachael Bond, works alongside teachers, support staff, external professionals and families to plan and review provision for pupils with additional needs.
What Support Do We Offer?
We provide a range of support depending on each child’s needs, which may include:
- Adapted teaching and classroom strategies
- Small‑group or 1:1 interventions
- Support for speech, language and communication
- Emotional and social wellbeing support
- Access arrangements for assessments
- Collaboration with external agencies such as Educational Psychologists, Speech and Language Therapists and Occupational Therapists
Working With Families
We believe that strong partnerships with parents and carers are essential. We:
- Communicate regularly about progress and next steps
- Involve families in planning and reviewing support
- Offer guidance and signposting to local services
