Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)
On occasion there are children who have significant differences in learning, behaviour and physical abilities. Identification of these additional needs is important so that appropriate arrangements can be made to meet such needs. Often provision can be provided within the resources of the school, but other support services provided by the Local Authority or other agencies may be required. Parents will be involved in this process and informed about progress.
