The school has the facilities to cater for children with special educational needs, medical conditions, behavioural or social considerations. The class teachers are sensitive to these needs and by working closely with our school’s Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator (SENCO) provide Individual Educational Programmes (IEP) and Individual Behavioural Plans (IBP) when necessary.

Special Needs Code of Practice

The school follows the legislation set out in the Special Needs Code of Practice (2002) and Disability Discrimination Act (2005) and, where appropriate, works closely with LA’s Inclusion Service, including the Edcational Psychologist, Learning Support Teacher, Behavioural Support Team, Speech and Language therapist, Occupational therapist, School Health Adviser and Educational Welfare Officer (EWO). Parents of SEN pupils are kept fully informed of their child’s progress and are welcome to contact school to discuss any concerns as they may arise or to view the school’s SEN Policy and Disability Access Plan.
