SEND
All students who attend this school are entitled to a broad and balanced curriculum, suitably differentiated to meet individual needs.
It is our policy to assist all our students to achieve their full social, emotional and academic potential, both within the school community and in wider contexts. Provision will be made for those whose needs are not easily met within the normal academic and pastoral curriculum so that they may remain as fully integrated as possible.
Please complete and submit this form if you wish to receive an email when the SEND or Family Support Advisor list of Events, Information and Opportunities is updated. The message will be sent to the recorded email address.
