SEND
SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS AND DISABILITY
School Information
All children at our school have access to the full range of the National Curriculum. Children with special educational needs are integrated as fully as possible into mainstream life, both during lessons and in extra-curricular activities. Whilst we have no specialist SEND unit, our buildngs make provision for children with special needs which includes disabled toilets, handrails and ramps for wheelchair access.
Our schools work alongside specialist professionals in devising and implementing Child Profiles in accordance with the SEND Code of Practice. Parents are invited to discuss Child Profiles with the class teacher and/or the SEND co-ordinator.
Our dedicated SENDco is Mrs Cupples. She can be contacted via the school office.
Contacting School
If you are considering sending your child to either of our school, you can ring us to make an appointment with the Headteacher, Mr Thapar to arrange a visit to the school. During the visit you will be given a tour of the school. At that point you will be given opportunities to discuss your child’s specific needs and ask any questions relating to your child’s education with the SENDco (Mrs Cupples).
