SEND

SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS AND DISABILITIES (SEND) information:


Children with SEND will be considered for admission in exactly the same way as any other child
wishing to join the Federation, in accordance with the Admissions Policy. However, parents should
make particular arrangements to discuss individual needs in the context of the school. For children
with mobility difficulties the school offers level access to all main buildings and carpeting throughout
the teaching areas. The schools have toilet facilities for the disabled. We believe in providing the best
that we can for all our pupils, whether they are gifted and talented, disadvantaged or vulnerable, or
whether they have additional needs. 

AIMS

 To identify and support children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities.
 To support the provision of a happy, secure learning environment.

CO-ORDINATION OF PROVISION

Co-ordination of SEND provision is the responsibility of the SENDCo (Special Needs and Disabilities

Report are carried out; that staff, governors and parents of children with SEND are provided with the
necessary information and that parents are regularly consulted. Regular meetings are arranged with
the Educational Psychology and Specialist Support Service to discuss SEND provision within the
school and access appropriate advice and support. The Governor with responsibility for Special
Educational Needs is Mrs Suzie Allen.
