We believe that all our young learners are individuals, and as such, have their own special needs. Most of these can be met through the wealth of equipment, support, teaching styles and differentiated programs of study we offer our children. Teachers and Teaching Assistants are committed to providing for these needs.

There are times however when some children require further support related to specific Special Educational Needs (SEN). We believe that wherever possible, children with SEN should be taught within the normal class structure, with their peer group, though they may be withdrawn for short periods, if appropriate.

We aim to identify children with S.E.N. as early as possible and ensure that appropriate educational provision is made for them. Whenever possible and appropriate, children with S.E.N. and statements will have access to the National Curriculum. Of course any program of support will be developed in consultation with parents and carers. We strive to ensure that communication between parents and school is very open and jargon free at all times, but especially so with SEN issues.

The school has a named Inclusion Leader, whose role includes SEN. We also have a dedicated Inclusion Governor.
