Special Educational Needs

The needs of every child are varied; each child is an individual. We have a well-established learning support system with trained staff working either alongside children in class or in small groups. We regularly monitor the progress of children receiving support. After full discussion with parents it may then be necessary for us to place a child on the SEN register, to provide tailored support through a Individual Education Plan. The level of support will vary from child to child depending on their need. Support, guidance and assessment can be sought from professionals to provide a holistic approach to your child’s learning and developmental needs. We are a wheelchair friendly school on ground floor level.
