SEN statement

Provided by the school and not part of our review

Rossett has adopted a Whole School Approach to Special Needs in which all children are valued and treated as individuals. Staff are fully briefed on the problems children may have which could be barriers to their learning and support strategies are put in place and regularly monitored. Parents are closely involved and play a vital part in the review process. The Inclusion Unit supports students who have emotional difficulties and those who require individual learning programmes. As a result, students on the Autistic Spectrum and those with related problems have been able to achieve success and fulfil their potential.

The School has an excellent team of 18 Teaching Assistants who help to develop children's self-confidence and support their day to day learning.
