Special Educational Needs (SEN) and Disabilities

NEW ARRANGEMENTS FOR SUPPORTING CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE WITH SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS AND DISABILITIES

On 1^st September 2014, the Children and Families Act 2014 introduced a new framework for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) representing the biggest shift in SEN for 30 years.  Please refer to the letter from Edward Timpson, Minister for Children and Families – April 2014 via the link below.

All Local Authorities are required to publish information on ‘the Local Offer’ about all SEND services, along with details of any eligibility for specialist services and a signpost to support for those who do not meet thresholds.

Our Vision for Inclusion

At our school, we believe that every child is a unique acorn with the potential to grow into a mighty oak. Through an inclusive, nurturing, and ambitious environment, we ensure that all children are valued, respected, and supported to flourish emotionally, academically, socially, and personally.

We celebrate diversity and recognise that every child learns and develops in their own way. By removing barriers to learning, promoting equality of opportunity, and fostering a strong sense of belonging, we enable every pupil to grow in confidence, resilience, and independence.

Working in partnership with families, staff, other professionals and the wider community, we cultivate a culture where differences are embraced, strengths are recognised, and every child feels safe, heard, and empowered to achieve their full potential.

Together, we help all our little acorns grow into mighty oaks.
