Aims and objectives

Our special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) policy aims to:

● Make sure our school fully implements national legislation and guidance regarding pupils with SEND

o Help pupils with SEND fulfil their aspirations and achieve their best

o Help pupils with SEND become confident individuals living fulfilling lives

o Communicate with pupils with SEND and their parents or carers and involve them in discussions and decisions about support and provision for the pupil

● Explain the roles and responsibilities of everyone involved in providing for pupils with SEND

● Communicate with, and involve, pupils with SEND and their parents or carers in discussions and decisions
about support and provision for the pupil

● Make sure the SEND policy is understood and implemented consistently by all staff

Vision and values

At our school we will provide all pupils with access to a broad and balanced curriculum.

We are committed to making sure all our pupils have the chance to thrive and supporting them to meet their full potential.

We are focused on creating an inclusive environment, where provision is tailored to the needs and abilities of pupils, no matter how varied.
