SEND

Special Educational Needs and Disabilities

SENCO - Heather Lowthian (Sept 2020)

Governor: Lisa Wilson

We believe that all our children are entitled to have equal access to all the experiences provided by our school, all our children are entitled to experience our broad and balanced curriculum, and all our children should be given the opportunity to develop to their full potential. To achieve this, a need for extra support may arise because of social, development or educational factors or because a child may be exceptionally gifted. Therefore we have developed the following aims:

• We aim to identify children with Special Educational Needs as early as possible
• We aim to plan, implement and monitor the provision of Special Educational Needs through a partnership with parents and staff and consultation with external agencies and governors.
• We aim to fulfil Special Educational Needs in a caring, supportive atmosphere that promotes learning.

Our school is ideally suited to children with Special Educational Needs of whatever kind.

As a small school we know all our children as individuals and this offers great benefits. Individual needs will be accommodated for as they arise.
