SEND
Special Education Needs & Disabilities
The school’s Special Educational Needs & Disability policy is based on the following principles:
- That all children are entitled to an inclusive, broad and balanced curriculum.
- That all teachers are teachers of children with Special Educational Needs & Disability and have a responsibility to meet those needs with the advice and support of the school co-ordinator and external professionals; as appropriate.
- That needs will be identified at an early stage and progress monitored in line with the national Code of Practice.
- That pupils with Special Educational Needs & Disability will be fully integrated into the life of the school, enabling them to maximise their potential as learners and to contribute to the social and cultural activities of the school.
This page is part of the Local Offer for Windsor & Maidenhead. Under the Children and Families Act 2014, Local Authorities are required to publish, and keep under review, information about services that they expect to be available for children and young people with disabilities and Special Educational Needs (SEN) aged 0-25; this is called the Local Offer. The intention of the Local Offer is to improve choice and transparency for families. It will also be an important resource for professionals in understanding the range of services and provision in the local area.
