How children with SEN engage in all activities?

We enable all children to engage fully in all aspects of school life. To do this, we:

  • Ensure that all children with SEND are fully included in the school curriculum and all activities involved in the wider life of the school in order to promote the highest levels of achievement. For example, we ensure that children with disability can participate in sporting events and festivals. Sometimes they may be taking part alongside their peers and on other occasions they may attend specific events with other disabled children.
  • Liaise with the children, parents/ carers and professionals from other agencies to ensure that we adapt activities for those with SEN because we strive to ensure maximum engagement and achievement for all of our children.
  • Ensure every child has the entitlement to a sense of achievement by planning for and providing opportunities for all children to participate in activities where they are able to succeed. We celebrate this by consistently using rewards such as house points, certificates, etc.
  • Ensure that children are rewarded, not just for high attainment but, for effort, progress, resilience, perseverance, determination and achieving the goals that children set for themselves. We have a school ethos where everybody celebrates the achievement of others.

If you would like to discuss your SEND requirements in detail please contact the school to arrange an appointment.
