SEN Details

Exeter Cathedral School, Exeter

This page displays the answers provided by the school to our SEN questionnaire. The box immediately below this text is where the school describes its SEN provision to parents in plain English (or at least that's what we asked for).

The detailed questions that form the bulk of this questionnaire are designed to allow parents to compare provision between schools and to search for particular types of provision. If you need more information than this provides, please refer to our extensive SEN links and resources section reached through the SEN button in the left-hand menu.

Description

Children with special needs are considered on and individual basis and accepted at the discretion of the Headmaster. The SENCO coordinates the provision provided by four part-time specialist teachers including: support for children with moderate dyslexia and other mild learning difficulties, and English as a second langurage.
