We are committed to providing an inclusive curriculum that ensures the best possible progress for all of our pupils whatever their needs or abilities.  We encourage parents and carers to play an active role in their child’s education. We believe that confidence and self-esteem are the platform for effective learning. Some children may need to focus on these areas before we can secure further academic achievements. We recognise that many pupils will have special needs at some time during their school life.  In implementing this policy, we believe that all pupils can be helped to achieve their full potential and experience success. 

Our objectives are: 

• To identify children with SEND as early as possible.
• To provide appropriate additional support which develop key skills and increases rates of progress.
• To plan an effective curriculum that is broad, balanced and relevant to the needs and interests of children with SEND.
• To work in close partnership and maintain effective communication with parents/carers of children who have SEND.
• To ensure that all who are involved with children are aware of the procedures for identifying their needs and use effective strategies to support and teach them.
• To work in close partnership, where appropriate, with outside agencies to support the needs and provision for children who have SEND.
• To ensure that every child becomes increasingly more independent by developing key skills that promote effective life-long learning.

"The pastoral care that children receive helps them to learn and to feel safe. Boomer the therapy dog and the 'just right' tower, help them to talk about their feelings so they are ready to learn." OFSTED, 2023
