Welcome to Special Educational Needs & Disabilities (SEND) Support

At our school, we believe every student deserves an inclusive, ambitious education tailored to their individual strengths and needs. Our dedicated SEND team works alongside classroom teachers, pastoral staff, and external specialists to deliver early identification, high-quality interventions, and personalised support for students with special educational needs or disabilities.

A student is identified as having SEND if they require provision that is additional to, or different from their peers to access the curriculum whether due to a formal diagnosis, a physical disability, or working significantly below age-related expectations. When a student receives this targeted tier of support beyond day-to-day classroom adjustments, they are placed on our SEND Register. This enables us to carefully monitor their academic progress, coordinate resources, and regularly review their personal targets in close partnership with families to ensure every young person thrives.
