Special Educational Needs and Disabilities

We are committed to using our best endeavours to provide an appropriate and high quality education for all children at our school which enables them to:

 - Achieve their best

 - Become confident, independent individuals living fulfilling lives

 - Make a successful transition to their next phase of education or employment

We consider every teacher to be a teacher of every child, including those with special educational needs and disabilities and we have the highest aspirations and expectations for all children. We aime to ensure those children with special educational needs and disabilities experience a broad, balanced academic and social curriculum, which is accessible and ensures they are included in all aspects of school life and feel equally valued and part of the school community.
