We aim to provide equality
of opportunity and we recognise
that some children will need
special consideration if they
are to gain access to the
whole curriculum and fulfill
their potential. The school
team aims to work with parents
in assessing and supporting
the needs of individual children.
In addition the governing
body has an ongoing role in
reviewing and evaluating the
approach to special needs
and the support provided.
The Local Education Authority
(LEA) has a part to play.
It directs funding for special
needs to schools and also
sets out the criteria for
attainment that children have
to meet in order to qualify
for support under the Code
of Practice for Special Educational
Needs. Similarly, the LEA
sets out the criteria which
schools have to meet by way
of provision for children
with special needs. (Full
details of these criteria
are available from the school
office. The Special Needs
Coordinator (SENCO) will be
happy to provide further clarification
as necessary.
