SEN statement

Provided by the school and not part of our review

Midhurst Grammar School is a mainstream school serving all of the students within its catchment area. It has an inclusive policy and welcomes all students. The SENCO manages a team of 2 SEN teachers and 7 Teaching Assistants. We provide for a range of special educational needs including students with specific learning difficulties, emotional, behavioural and social needs, sensory impairment and more general learning difficulties. The provision is worked out to suit the individual needs of each student but might include in-class support from a teaching assistant, small group learning support with a SEN teacher, speech and language support from a teacher or the senior teaching assistant. Although we have experience of working with students with autistic spectrum disorder (Aspergers syndrome) these cases have been mild to moderate. We do not have a special needs unit, students follow the national curriculum in mainstream classes, with support to differentiate the curriculum as appropriate. We support a number of students with medical conditions. Two of the teaching assistants are trained to provide physiotherapy for students with Cystic Fibrosis; support staff and teachers are trained to deal with epileptic seizures.
