Special Educational Needs and Disabilities

SEN and Disabilities are led by our Assistant Headteacher (Inclusion), Mrs Janet Davison.  Children with SEN are supported in a variety of ways according to a child’s needs.  Approximately 15% of our pupils are supported through ‘SEN Support’ and ‘Education, Health and Care Plans’.  The school works closely with outside agencies to ensure children’s barriers to learning are understood well and supported effectively.  Outside agencies include: Speech and Language Therapy, Educational Psychology Service, LIFT, Specialist Teaching and Learning Service, Children’s Assessment Centre (Paediatricians, Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapists) and CAMHS.
