How do children with SEN engage in all activities?

We enable all children to engage in all aspects of school life. We do our best to ensure that all children can access all things as best as we can. We do not see SEND as a barrier to accessing the full curriculum and ensure that children with SEND are fully included in all activities in order to promote the highest levels of achievement.  For example, if a child had a physical disability, they can always be incorporated in to a PE lesson with adaptation and effort; we make that effort. We are prepared to seek advice, resources, equipment and training when needed in order to provide quality-learning experiences for our children.

Over the past two years staff have received a variety of training including supporting pupils with visual impairment, supporting pupils with ASC, supporting pupils with social and emotional health needs.  All staff receive training on supporting pupils with a literacy difficulties.  Staff have also liaised with appropriate specialist professionals to gain advice in how to support pupils with SEN effectively.  The school has also purchase a range of resources to support pupils with literacy difficulties and ASC.
