For all our pupils with SEND we intend to raise the aspirations of and expectations by providing a focus on outcomes for pupils to ensure they achieve their potential, become confident individuals living fulfilling lives.

To ensure that all children receive a high-quality and ambitious education regardless of need or disability.

We believe that it is vital that our pupils are equipped with the tools needed to become independent, inquisitive learners both in and out of the classroom.

Through our high quality planning, teaching and provision we intend to:

• Identify pupils with SEND early, to ensure that progress and opportunities are maximized.

• Ensure that all children have access to a broad and balanced curriculum, which is differentiated to enable children to understand the relevance and purpose of learning.
