The school adopts the following key principle:

“Every teacher is a teacher of SEND and every leader is a leader of SEND and so SEND needs to be woven in and not bolted on to the fabric of the school.”

Many support staff are also key to delivering SEN provision and are an integral part of SEND provision.

All students in KS1 and KS2 are entitled to have access to the full range of the curriculum offered at the school.

Supporting students in Years R - 6 with Special Educational Needs is the responsibility of all our staff.  The Code of Practice highlights that every teacher has a responsibility for the progress of their students with SEND and is expected to respond with high quality teaching, appropriate differentiation and specific strategies.

The school aims to assist all students to achieve and develop by:

• treating each child as an individual bearing in mind his or her particular needs and the expectations and needs of the school community
• helping each child to achieve his or her full potential and to appreciate and value his or her own strengths
• providing a safe and secure learning environment within which each individual is valued and respected
• working in partnership with parents/carers of students with Special Educational Needs to further their child's education
