SEN statement

Provided by the school and not part of our review

Larwood School is a primary day/residential special school for boys and girls with emotional and behavioural difficulties. Our school ethos and approach to pupil behaviour management is underpinned by the philosophy and belief that children will respond well when adults treat them positively. We therefore look to praise the children when their behaviour is positive, appropriate and when they engage in learning. The staff, governors and pupils of Larwood School are very proud of all they achieve.
