Special Educational Needs

A child has SEND if they have a learning difficulty or disability that we need to make special provision for.

Some key terms explained

• Learning Difficulty: when a child finds it harder to learn than most children do.
• Disability (that we need to make special provision for): something that hinders a child from using our school facilities.
• Special provision: is support that is extra or different to what is typically provided.

Our SEND values link directly to each aspect of our Trust values. However this is mostly relevant for ‘Include’. We are concerned about achieving equitable, diverse and quality education for all pupils. 

Our shared SEND aims are:

• We celebrate each pupil’s strengths, interests and individuality.
• We have high expectations and aspirations for all children.
• The views, wishes and feelings of our children are central to all we do.
• We work positively and proactively with parents and others involved.
• All children are entitled to a broad and balanced education and to feel secure, safe and valued.
• All children are encouraged to participate in the life of our school.
• All our teachers are teachers of children with SEND.
