Achieving The Best Together
Children with SEND are given the same opportunities for learning as their peers. All children are carefully assessed to ensure that the work is correctly matched to the child to avoid frustration and maximise the progress that they make. We keep close
contact with home to suggest ways in which you could help your child and will discuss fully with you any assessment we make. The school can approach the Local
Authority’s Educational Psychologist and Specialist Teacher team if we need further
assessments or advice. Further details can be found in our SEND policy along with our Local Offer.
