Our School vision for Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).

Our school aims to provide every child with the best chance to succeed in life through providing a fully inclusive and high-quality school experience. We will provide a broad, balanced and relevant curriculum to all pupils including those with SEND. In line with the SEND Code of Practice (2015) our SEND system has a strong focus on improving outcomes for all our children through encouraging open communication with parents and carers, regulated health care professionals, teaching staff, teaching assistants and the pupil through a culture of active listening and mutual respect.
