Special Education Needs

Buckswood School recognises that SEND students range across the spectrum of Able, Gifted and Talented, and EAL students, as well as those requiring support to access the curriculum. We recognise that many of the learning difficulties of students may be temporary and can be overcome, so students with additional educational needs are given the opportunity to benefit as fully as possible from a challenging education in a positive environment. Buckswood Policy is consistent with the fundamental principles contained in the Special Educational Needs and Disability Code of Practice: 0 to 25 years (July 2014) and the Equalities Act 2010. We believe in providing every possible opportunity to develop the full potential of all students. Our aim is that all students with special educational needs participate in activities compatible with the efficient education of other students and the efficient use of resources. All children will have the right to a broad and balanced curriculum including extra-curricular activities where appropriate and full access to the curriculum offered by the school. All Students are valued and their self-esteem promoted. We work in close partnership with Parents and Carers who play an active part in their child’s education and value input from them, as well as the Students themselves whose views are taken into account.
