SEN statement

Provided by the school and not part of our review

Support for pupils with additional or different needs is provided by the Support Team which includes Learning, Language and Behaviour support and is strategically managed by the Pupil Support Manager who is an Assistant Headteacher. Within the Support Team, Learning Support is co-ordinated by the Learning Support Co-ordinator. The Learning Support Department consists of two part-time (0.5) teachers and eight Teaching Assistants. The Behaviour Support Department is co-ordinated by the Behaviour Support Co-ordinator who works with two full-time Teaching Assistants. For the most part, support for pupils with Special Educational Needs, both learning and behaviour, takes place within mainstream lessons, although both departments benefit from their own dedicated classroom for withdrawal purposes where specialist programmes can be delivered. The school is committed to the employment of Higher Level Teaching Assistants.
