SEND
SEND stands for Special Educational Needs and Disability
All children are individuals and their abilities in each area of the curriculum can vary across a wide spectrum.
Class teachers are used to providing lessons and activities which ensure good progress for pupils whatever their level of ability.
However, there are situations where a child’s needs are such that it is difficult for a class teacher to provide appropriately for them without additional and/or specialist support. This is usually when a child is described as having ‘Special needs’
All Schools have a duty to be accessible and inclusive for the children within their community. It is our job to support parents in providing the best possible education for children. For the vast majority of children that will be through attending their local mainstream school. However, for a small number of children their needs may be met at an alternative setting or specialist provision. In those circumstances we have a role to support parents in identifying and accessing what is best for their child.
