SEND Support

We value all children equally whatever their background, and aim to provide a welcoming, inclusive atmosphere.

We ensure that children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) are given equal opportunities to fulfil their academic and personal potential and are enabled and encouraged to feel worthy and important pupils.

What is SEND?

A pupil has special educational needs if they have a learning difficulty or disability which calls for special educational provision to be made for them.

They have a learning difficulty or disability if they have:

Significantly greater difficulty in learning than the majority of the others of the same age, or
A disability which prevents them from making use of facilities of a kind generally provided for others of the same age

SENDCo

The SEND Coordinator (SENDCo) aims to establish close working relationships between pupils, staff, parents, carers and outside agencies so that pupils can be helped in a fully supportive environment. Our SENDCo is Charlotte McGrath and you can contact her directly at mcgrath.c2@welearn365.com.
