SEN statement

Provided by the school and not part of our review

The bulk of our provision involves in-class support, although some boys are also withdrawn both individually and in small groups, especially for assistance with maths and literacy. Sixth formers are assisted on a mentoring basis. We have access for wheelchairs, and many members of staff have been trained in providing for boys with autistic spectrum conditions and those with hearing or visual impairment.
