Special Educational Needs is used to describe a learning difficulty or disability that makes it harder for children to learn than most children of the same age. Children with SEN – Special Educational Needs are likely to need extra of different help from that from that given to other children their age. 

All children are entitled to quality first teaching but, for some children, there will be times when additional support will be necessary in order to meet their needs . Some children will be identified as having special educational needs or disabilities (SEND), and others may need a short-term catch-up programme. We take a graduated approach to SEND, so if a child is making inadequate progress, they will be offered extra help (intervention). If the progress continues to be inadequate, they may be identified as having SEND and the level of support will increase or vary. All children with SEND will have some provision that is additional to or different from other children.

If you think your child may have SEND, please contact the SENCO Mrs Brown on 01482 441151.
